Complaining mom

A few minutes ago my mom gets pissed off at me cause I refuse to clean my room,I respond by saying it’s not going to stay clean. She leavs the room while I’m on the floor still but comes back in and says the same old line “This is my hose,I pay bills not you”,without talking how can I tell her that I have a different view with things?

After that she complains that I’m always on the computer instead of doing homework,if she paid attention to me she’d know that I email my teacher to get my homework,what should I do to get her to listen and stop complaining to me?

(Remember:I’ve stop talking around my family for numerous reasons)

Answer #1

First of all, she has a point. She’s your mother, it is her house, and when she asks you to do something then you really should do it. Pius, it your room is clean it is a lot easier to find things when you need them. My daughter uses the same excuse you did—well, if you pick up after yourself every day and at night before bed it won’t be a pig stye, you can walk across the floor, and as said above you can find things easily. That said, I am not aware of your issues and why you are not talking around your family. Vaguely remember 1 post awhile back but exactly what was. Sorry.

Ok, the first issue/battle goes to Mom. 2nd I also tell my daughter she spends to much time on the conputer if I just let her go on her own, so now she gets 2 hrs a day, which is not only generous but beyond recommendations. And I KNOW for a fact the SHE’S not emailing a teacher for homework. Do you spend all your time on the comp? Do you do your homework all of the time and turn it in? What kind of grades do you get?? If you would like to email me and let me know the situation at home and why you don’t talk. I might be able to give you some advise from a Mom’s point of view with some more information.
If not, then this is about as far as I can get with you. Sorry. I am more than willing to hear what you have to say!! (•:

Answer #2

It is her house - she does pay the bills - she is no doubt doing the best she can - from what you said, you sound very disrespectful and spoiled - clean your room…it won’t kill you.

Answer #3

I agree with amblessed you sound like a typical spoiled teenager, im sure you can find much better ways to rebel than to not clean your room.

Answer #4

You have to relize your parents are instilling good chours and values on you that will later help you out in life, trust me every carring mother has this conversation with there child. My mom starting making me do my own wash when I was 15 and I payed $25.oo rent when I turned 18. I am so glad she taught me these responsabilities. I am now an adult who can carry her own weight without “needing” the hlep of others. As far as not speaking to your family you may learn a hard lesson in life that they are the only ones that truley care and will be there your whole life, through thick and thin, I would start respecting them, you never know when you may need to lean on them, and she is paying the bills, putting food on the table and a roof over your head, think about how you are treating them.

Answer #5

Just tidy your room… its not gonna hurt you and it takes 2 seconds 1 - Spread the blankets up on the bed so it looks made 2 - Shove all the clothes on the floor in the hamper 3 - Open the window so it smells nice And your done!!! Moms are easy to please and usually love you - if you are smart/quick enough get all your how done in class so you can have free nights
