She's always complaining about she's doing all the housework (not true) , and how we lack understanding and patience. I'm here trying to do my homework, and she's not really helping. This is destroying my learning environment, and dad isn't helping either (he yells too, but not as much)
What to do about a mum that b*tches all the time!?

Being a Mom of a 15 year old I fall into the Yelling mom spot. If you are told to do something then do it. If you do it when we tell you it gets done then we're happy and you'd have silence. I tell my son all the time I hate to yell but I get so irritated that I can't help it. We work hard all day to make sure our responsibility as parents is taken care of. If your old enough to pull some weight around the house then why wouldn't you??? Do you think that it's fair to not help out? My advice to shut your parents up, DO WHAT THEY TELL YOU TO DO. Then when they start to yell, you can say "I ALREADY TOOK CARE OF IT!" I think that will stop them in their tracks and maybe lay off a little if you show some responsibility.

How are you doing your homework and visiting this site at the same time? Seriously, it does suck whey you have parents who do yell all the time. Just remember, it rarely has much to do with you. And as much as you may want to do the opposite, do your best to help around the house. Keep a list of all the chores you do on a daily basis so that when you mom gets on your case, you can simply refer to you list. I agree with the other person who said to give your mom a hug and let her know you love her. You do seem like a good kid. A great way to release the stress of your homelife is exercise. I know this first hand. I too was a kid from an unhappy home. Just know that it's not forever. Someday you will be a legal adult and from that day on you are in charge of where you live and what you do. You will have the option of leaving home (I reccomend going to college and living on campus). That way you are removing yourself from that environment and bettering yourself and your future at the same time. Just hang in there!

My mom does the exact same thing ALL THE TIME....
tonight i had a partner for my science project come over.... the whole time she was like... "our house is so dirty", "Aimee, never helps out","Aimee, go cook your brother food"(i did and the little rat refused to take a bite) she even told me to do the laundry while i was working! once the project was done my friend left. then i still had to do my Drama project. and she refused to let me work on the computer!
my father isn't really very close to my family. this year iv'e seen him 3 times. no exageration. and i still haven't got my gift from last x mas!
the upside is my mom is totally okay with individuality, hair dye and peircings. her gift if she has the money on thurs or fri. is to get my eyebrow peirced!

Don't give her any reason to then. Help out more with the housework, understand more and be more patient. It's her house and until ur 18 u gotta follow the rules

Just try to ignore her when she yells and since she complains alot try to acknowledge the things she already does a bit more, help her, always tell her you love her and try talking to her and your dad about the whole situation. It will help alot. Being more open with them will loosen things up and make things like this happen less. Also, pray about it and things will get better. I hope everything works out well.
God bless

Well lets see....
Where do you sleep, under their roof, or yours?
Who's food do you eat, the stuff they buy and cook, or the stuff that you buy and cook?
Who's water do you use, who does the laundry, whose table are you doing your homework on?
When you answer MINE to all of the above questions, then tell your parents its time to move out of your house, and until then do what they ask BEFORE they have to start yelling about it.

Be nice. Do some housework, and then get straight to your homework. Simple.

My dads the same way. Just ignore them, go to your bedroom, shut the door and turn on some music. Tune them out. After a while, when nobody is listening, she'll stop. The worst thing to do is yell back, it just gives her feul to yell for another 2 hrs.

what housework??? tell her housework only exists if she decides to do something. otherwise, te;ll her that when you want some clothes you will wash them, when you want food, you will make it, and you are happy with your shite being all over your floor, so who cares. living is far miore important than cleaning stuff >>> Its just going to get dirty again!!!
