My mom is crazy. I'm in high school, so I have a co-op, am an NHS member, and a MAC qualified varsity swimmer. I get 2 hours of sleep at with practice, work, and homework,and housework. She had the audacity to say that I'm the financial burden of the family. My mom has it sooo easy. She's a "stay at home" mom. I think it's rediculous that she doesn't cook or clean and isn't even nice to me. I'm so overworked and she hasn't worked in 25 years (as a secretary). I just don't know how to tell her that i'm overworked and i think she needs a job, any advice would be appreciated?????>>

You have your own life to live. You are young and in charge, and that's great. You sound like a very together kid who isn't going to screw up her life (like some people do). In 3-4 years you are off to college and you can be on your own and run a house the way you want to. Don't take you mom's comments to heart and let them roll off your back for now. She is your Mom so you do need to follow the house rules, but the next few years will go by quickly. Don't let the situation at home drag you down, keep your eye on the prize, and tell you Mom what she wants to hear, even agree with her if that's what it takes. If you mom is reluctant to help with college, talk with your counselors at school and get the answers yourself. Remember, it's your ONE life, make sure you get out of the starting blocks in good shape. Good luck!

stop working the job, and stop trying to do that co-op thing... work on School only... then ask your mom if you are a "burden"
