I'm 13 and my mom is always using "I'm the parent" as an excuse for anything she wants. She set some really stupid rules for tomorrow, and I told her she should help me if she wants it done. When she asked why, I told her "You're the parent."
Am I being too bratty?

I know I was a little, but the rules were kinda hard for me to follow and she uses "I'm the parent" as an excuse to keep me from doing or saying anything. I'm not allowed my own opinion on things at all, I have to follow hers. It gets annoying, and sometimes I just snap.

Yeah you where, but you know what your 13, and how Else are you suppose to act. At 13 everybody knows everything. and for some reason when your around 18 you'll forget it all. and never know it again. LOL I'm kidding look your 13 i would think your weird if you acting any other way. Look i have 3 kids and i cant think of 1 rule i have that they like. Its the way it works sorry. Try not to fight so much, do what she says (yes i said to just do it) maybe she'll have more respect to what your feeling in stead of giving you a dead ended answer that you cant say anything about your feelings after.
You dont have to hold her hand, but you do have to live there why not just enjoy all the things you like and grit your teeth on what you dont.

Yes, you are an extreme brat. Ultimately, brattiness loses. But, if you want to be really extra bratty, then tell her that you cannot do it because you are the child and there are child labor laws and a child should not have to do anything it does not want to do. After you tell her this, do a little sniff and poke your nose straight up into the air.
That's about as bratty a thing as I can imagine.
Expect to get clobbered.

Speaking as the parent of an 11 year old, what you've said to your mother makes me proud....*wipes a tear from my eye*
Sometimes parents abuse their authority a little too much for the stupidest reasons...you're 13 years old and are just now starting to learn the ways of adulthood and how to play "the game". Keep at it...but don't abuse YOUR newfound equality either.

Disagreement between parents and children is normal. I feel, as long as she is a good parent (pays the bills, feeds you,no abuse) you should try and do your best to help her thru her life. It can't be easy trying to raise a 13 yr.old. I was a little **** when I was 13 and did things I regreted. After I turned 18 my mother got breast cancer and I was the only one who could take care of her......It just puts alot into perspective. It is no good being a dick all the time. Your both human and should relax and do your best to help eachother. if you need space tell her
"i need alittle space, time to myself." she should understand.
And if you feel like your acting like a brat, you might be.

Just remember there are kids out there right now wishing they had a mom that is still alive or one that gives a crap about what their 13 yr old is doing.
Someday you will be all grown and look back at this and think to yourself "wow, what a pain in the backside I was">

Wow, I have raised a lot of kids, but you would be on the wrong side of 14 before you were done with your punishment for that one. Just an fyi: I would never have asked why when pointing to the list was enough.

well, as much as I hate to admit it, yea, you probably are.
You see, the thing is...
your mom is dealing with a bunch of real world adult pressure that you have no comprehension of.
She's your mom, and even though it doesn't seem like it now, she really does love you and want the best for you.
My guess is she's a little stressed over her life and responsibilities, so maybe she seems a little too demanding, but you have to realize...
your life is not as difficult as hers, no matter how much you want to believe the contrary.
Try to please her, even though it sucks!
Good luck and God Bless!

bratty but normal behavior for a young teen. I would have told my daughter again that I am the parent and she better listen, Christmas is right around the corner.....

Well......Yes that is kinda bratty. The best thing to do when living at home is to do what they tell you too. Keep your mouth shut and count down the years..
