Why is my mom always mad at me?

Okay I come home from a long day spent with friends. And my mom is just staring at the t.v not even acting like I came in. I had left my friends house because she sent me a txt saying “shouldnt I have been home already”. So I thought I would have recived a better greeting than just the “cold sholder”. I hate that when I go out she gets mad. Or when I dont look right she gets mad. Even im wearing some thing she doesnt like she gets mad. It was like this before.. I mean is she just getting older? And fed up? Or what is it.. I mean I clean for her sometimes and do laundry so when she comes home from work she doesnt have to clean or anything. But it seems like she hardly cares and always throws “you never do anything around here”? I hate that shes always mad at me if its not one thing its another.. And I love my mom and its hard for me, I want to cry all the time becuase I feel like I fail her. Im really confused and I dont know what to do… Help please?

Answer #1

I think you should ask why she’s mad or just ask if she has problems in work or even relationships

Answer #2

I agree with Helperz12, It all depends on if you are doing your part in your home like you should be at this age.

I started to help around the house at 13 like cleaning my room everyday and washing dishes 3 times a week. I sweep and vacuum in the house too and recently, about 2 years ago I started cooking. I’m 17 now and even after my epiphany at 13, she STILL hates me.

This could be because of problems you can’t exactly see. My mom used to be really snappy when we went through a sort of financial crisis. You should ask your mom what is wrong and if there is anything you van do to help. It works for me for about 3 months at a time.

Also, on the bit about having a job, I tried working with my mom when I was 15 for 2 months at her office and it really helped improve our relationship.

Good luck

Moms are moms. Sometimes its hard sometimes life gets hard. We try so hard to win but then we loss the game. Score me zero you infinity. Do we ever know what we have done. Life is too short its like a fish drowning in the water. do you know what today is?, I do its the first day of the rest of your life.

Answer #4

Well I mean you should let your mother know how you feel. If she doesnt listen then I would say to just try and try or just leave it alone until it processes threw her head that she should treat you better and that you do what you can. But I mean moms are like that, just think of college and the future. Things will get better. I’m almost 18 and my mom was the same until I let her know that she was pushing me away and that I was tired of her always getting mad at me for having a good time or going out until like 10pm. But when you hit 18 you can walk right out the door and come back in (but with that comes possibly getting kicked out of the house. You must be a great person if you still have that much love for her. I was so sick of mine. I love her but she makes me so mad. But good luck :D

Answer #5

You are 17 years old…Do you take care of youself or do you wait for her to do your laurdry and clean you room? You say that you clean the house sometimes.SOMETIMES isn’t good enough!! If you don’t have a job and all you do is hang out with your friends and go to school your mom shouldn’t have to do anything when she gets home from working. You have a few years before your an ADULT living on your own and I bet she wants you to show her that you can take care of yourself. THAT IS A PARENTS BIGGEST FEAR!!( Hell I was living on my own in my first apartment at 17.) If you are late coming home…do you want her to yell at you. Maybe she thinks that yelling at you isn’t going to change anything. Your MOM loves you…Sometimes we just don’t know how to show it. I’m not getting on to you so don’t think that. I am just letting you know from a moms point of view.
