She's never been fair with punishments or anything but lately it's gotten out of hand. I got my car taken away yesterday, which I paid for including insurance, gas, repairs, because I said "I already told you" after she asked me for the 5th time if I was skiing today. I didn't say it mean in any way and she flipped out and starting screaming at me saying how snotty I am to her. Well I'm not but I'm not going to do anything nice for her anymore. She yelled at me this morning because I wanted to bake the cookie dough she made. She actually yelled at me because I wanted to help. I accidentally got 1 fucking piece of dog hair on her and she flipped out saying how I ruined it. She had been baking in it and had flour and dough all over it. I mean I know parents arn't always perfect but seriously, this is just retarded.

I think it's the end of the time of the month. She's been complaining about that for a year. Now she's just using it as an excuse to be bitchy.

my mom used to be like this like all of last year. just quit communication completely. keep answers to yes and no. don't come to her for advice. talk to everyone else in the house but her. if she asks you for help, don't do it, or do it and don't even make eye contact.  she'll get the idea...it works wonders. she quit being such a bitch withing about a little over a week for me, and shit has stayed that way.

you could try asking her why she's being an overreacting bitch. tell her she's not making any sense.  that might not work to well tho, from what you're saying.

Give her space dude. Sounds like some emotional (maybe menopausal) things going on. Just don't fret, you're old enough to be out of the house soon. And she'll miss you more than you think.

yeah, sounds like you should just ignore her for awhile, then she'll realize how she's acting and "mature" up.

my moms been doing the same exact thing all day. we were filling out this sat form and I was, jokingly, like you're being more annoying than the site and she stormed out. then I asked he for my ss# because I needed it for the site and she's like why didn't you write it down! um, you stormed out of my room before I could? I don't know, that and a few other things that are totally ridiculous that have happened sound a lot like what you're saying.

I fucking love this thread.

I just moved into my Mom's house so I can get better financial aid. When I arrived, she brought me to the Waffle House and pulled out a premeditated list of concerns about me living with her. She compared me to her ex-husband, my Father, damn.
************************************************************************************************
"Hey, beer at 4:00 o-clock, alllriiight :)" - Joe
"you know what Joe, fuck you." - Mom
*stunned* "you know what Mom, when I say that to my buddies, they'd say Cheers". She felt bad and said I'm right.
************************************************************************************************
She makes fun of my long hair. I tell her not to make fun of it. She says she's not making fun of it - it's just stupid. She overheard me asking my sister for advice about whether or not I should get a haircut and she tweaked. She was driving and I had to grab the wheel. She said, and I quote "I will not have my face dragged across the tar!!!"

************************************************************************************************

"Are there still clothes on the carpet in your room?" - Mom
"yes" - Me
"K, you need to take them off..." - Mom
"Why? They are clean, dry, and in my closet." - Me
"Mildew." - Mom
"Huh?" - Me
"There will be mildew." - Mom
"How?" - Me
"I'm telling you." - Mom
"but why? I don't understand how mildew is formed on a dry carpet..." - Me...
I walk to my room..."It's dry up there..." - Me
"IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY SAY IT TO MY FACE..." - Mom. I walk back and stand in front of her and politely say "Mildew requires moisture to form."

*****************************************************************************************************************

"Ha, you bought Molly 4 pairs of moccassins in two XMas'" - Joe
"Don't drag me down. I won't take this shit" - Mom
"Don't swear, please" - Joe
"I won't stand for this negativity. (I told her not to be negative, last week). ..." - Mom
"I actually just thought it was funny... you're the one swearing with a beer in your hand" - Joe
"~it's not funny you can't put me down I won't take it I spent my hard earned money she can take it whether she likes it or not, she probably won't even call me on xmas. I can drink as much as I please"
"you're drinking is disgusting." - Joe
"aw"- Mom sarcastically she starts yelling at me and swearing and attempting to make an argument that I'm bringing her down during xmas. As If. I back off and leave and relax. I walked back into the room and said "you're drinking scares me. and when you swear at me, that scares me." - Joe
"you knwo what I can swear liek a drunken sailor all I want."
"I don't like you're attitude" - Joe
"I will not have you expect me to just let you kick me around and expect me to lie here ( she's been standing all night) with my mouth shut and you know what it's christmas..." - Mom, She seems like she wants drama. She assumes I hate her.
I am trying my best to just remember the facts.
"I thought about it like it was a comedy. (I really thought it's classic. she always makes jokes about someone in the family giving bathrobes out annually). But your swearing scares me." I leave again, in pain, witholding my urges to tell her to go to hell, fuck off, or anything. She seems too vulnerable, after all. I kept an eye on her because her emotions seem scary and dangerous. When the neighbor, Charlie, arrived, she was cheerful with big "Hey Hey". She called me and asked to talk to me please. She showed me Charlie's moccassin and told him in a cheerful polite way  with me standing next to them that I had a "silly idea that 4 moccassins is too many".
************************************************************************************************

My older Brothers and Sisters swore their heads off at her. I'm thinking about trying that out.

My buddy scares his Mom in her sleep and plays pranks and steals her car in broad daylight and throws spears into her plants and hides behind the door when shes carrying groceries and scares the shit out of her so she drops them and catches squirrels and puts them in the laundry room and steals her wine and weed and answers her super serious questions about college, jobs, etc. with "poopnugget." That also, is a path I may find myself going down.

when parents get like this you need to be mature about what you say next. your mom was probably having a bad day or possibly pmsing. you need to bring up the fact it is unfair for her to explode on you when you have done nothing wrong. bring up the fact calmly and coolly that earlier that day she had already asked if you had gone skiing and that you had already responded to her request. apologize for any miscommunications that may have  happened.

this might sound mean, but:
man, dont be such a bitch. if you paid for that car yourself, there is no way you should let her take the keys away. if you are being responsible and she tries to punish you, disregard her. i assume because you have a car that you are atleast 17, which is close to 18 where you can leave your parents care and get rid of them from your life. im obviously not sponsoring this option, but a simple reminder of the fact that you will soon be responsible for yourself in the eyes of society might get you some leverage. you have to be respectful, dont get me wrong, and you should definatly listen to her most times, but its your life and she doesnt need to ruin it for you by unnecessarily disrespecting you. what you need to do is just politely ask to be treated with more respect. the ironic thing about family is that people can be rude to each other but still have to love each other.

Beleive me I've tried to be mature about it. I told her it was my car and I wouldn't use it other than to get to and from school. I've had many talks with her about how unfair she is and how she hasn't been handling things as mature as I have. It makes her mad that I'm the one that initiates these because she thinks I'm still a kid. I've been fending for myself for years thanks to my parents never being home and living at 2 different houses and traveling between 2 more. I understand their lives are hectic but so is mine and everyone else's.

when my parents used to lose their minds at me over something, i'd tell them as calmly, respectfully, and maturely (the opposite of how they were acting) that they were being irrational and blowing everything out of proportion.  having a teenager calmly tell them to settle down instead of yelling right back at them (what they were likely going for, consciously or not) usually frustrated them more, but put them on "mute" for a while and now they don't even try yelling at me. 

if your mom just explodes at you, i'd advise letting her know by how you react to her outbursts that they don't impress or intimidate you, so she might as well drop the three-year-old act and find a way to communicate like big people.  this will likely be a long, annoying, and troublesome process, but as time goes on, i start to wonder if any part of life isn't long, annoying, and troublesome, so you'll be fine.

I was going to ask whether or not you've brought it up with her in a reasonable discusion but since it seems you've tried that already its pretty clear to me that she's the one being unreasonable. At this point I'd go with the limited contact route. Keep answers short and avoid a lot of contact but at the same time dont ignore any duties you have around the house. If anything I'd do a little more, clean stuff up do dishes, whatever you can think of without asking but keep contact to a minimum. She'll either appreciate the help and recognize the distance shes creating or take irrationally and flip out for you doing things you werent told to. If she does that the entire situation speaks for itself and you already have the moral high-ground. I cant tell you what you'd do in that situation since I'd be just as confused as you.

Either way if you stick to doing good thigns around the house and keeping out of her way she should come around.

dude, i appreciate you saying I'm an asshole because I get a better perspective on myself. I'm not saying it doesn't suck getting called an asshole, but I respect it. Well, I still think my Mother was being quite prejudice upon my arrival, so, I am going to talk to an expert.
