My mom gets mad almost every single weekend. She starts yelling at me as soon as i wake up, and doesn't stop until Monday evening. I think she is just frustrated with all the clutter in our house, but why does she have to take it out on me and my older sister. She argues with my dad, too. It seems like the only person she doesn't ever yell at is my ten year old sister. My older sister and I get really mad and start saying stuff we shouldn't say. Then my mom gets madder, and it is like a living hell in my house. Its either a cold silence or yelling and screaming.

ive been through that....ignore what she says...keep your comments to yourself and try doing nice stuff for your mom....clean up and cook.....she is stressed ...my mom was the same way work all day then she had to come home n clean n cook and do laundry and no one would help her just giv her more problems like take me here n do this.....i learned that instead of fighting with her i do things for her so she wouldnt have to do them (like cook, clean, help my bro wit hw, etc) and shes nicer and less cranky when she gets to relax

well if its the clutter then look around and clean up everything you know is yours. Encourage you sister to do the same. Take from a mom with 3 kids..thats a lot of stuff to keep picking up..and clutter gets fusterating.
If you really want to suprise her, see if you can talk to your dad about taking her out for awhile, and you and your sister deal with the clutter..get some boxes and sort it all out for her..Don't throw away anything that maybe of any importance.
Believe me if you do this she will be happy..even if you sit down and ask her what you can do to help her out. Maybe she needs someone to help her and feels overwhelmed at all she does.
Most of the time when moms get like that its because we feel overwhelmed by what we know needs to be down and we just don't have the energy to do it, and asking for help sometimes feels like we're saying we can't do it. Which isn't the case its just how we feel..and let me tell you someone asking me if they can do something for me..puts me in a brighter mood already..one less thing to do.
Do the best you can and ask her what you can do for her..encourage your sisters to do the same.

Try helping out around the house without being asked. Your sisters need to help also. Not just you. Sounds like mom is a little overwhelmed with the house and coming home to a dirty house day after day, gets really old. Just pitch in once in awhile. I'll bet she'll be speechless and take a second look at her behavior and it will change. Remember, we all only get one mom in our lifetime and we should appreciate her.

Maybe like friday night you guys(you and your sister) talk to her about what happens in the house every weekend ... or maybe you shud talk to your father and all three of you should talk /... or maybe at dinner time you guys shud bring this topic up and see what her reaction is .. or if you dont wanna talk to her about it because she gets mad .. than try to just not be home as much on weekends ... maybe you and your sister should just go out and hang out all day on weekends ... maybe that will make you mom realize what she is doing is wrong and is makin your family split and get farther away from her ...
goodluck and im really sorry for what is happening .. hopefully things will get better around your house ... be strong

well I am sorry to hear she yells at you.Let me give you a few pointers you mentioned the clutter in the house how about you and your sisters clean up the house I meen really clean start throwing things away you don't need anymore then start with organising everything and see if that helps.If your room is a mess please clean it up and if you have cloths piled wash them.I am sure you will see a difference in your moms attitude.I am a Mom of 3 Wonderful kids,but they can be slobs.

You mom probably need some help with the house cleaning and you and your sister should at least help her out, she is frustrated and needs a little time to herself, she should not have to be cleaning up after everyone, your mother is not your maid.

just be nice to her, if you can't do that, just ignore her and find something to do in your room. lock the door, if you still hear her, just turn on the music and put your mind on something else
