Alright, so lately she's been mad at me for no apparent reason. I have no idea what to do.
When I do too much around the house, and to help her. I get in trouble. (Because she thinks I'm "Hovering" over her and "following" her constantly, which is completely and utter crap.)
When I do to little, I get in trouble. - For obvious reasons.
When I do everything, I get in trouble for the reason stated at first.
And when I do nothing at all, I get in trouble for being lazy.
I'm usually always doing a lot around the house, cleaning and such. which normally gets me a compliment and then I find out by my dad(She talks behind my back, telling him stuff that I do wrong or what she doesnt like about me.) that I obviously did something wrong.
What do I do? when I do stuff around the house I get a compliment which turns out to be a lie
When I don't do much around the house she throws her "silent fits" in which I feel bad afterwards.
Please help.

Another reason she doesn't like me doing stuff around the house is because she doesn't like feeling useless, or something like that.
This is really confusing.

Your mother seems to be a bit odd.
Does your mother clean or do other things around the house? If not, then maybe she doesn't like for someone to show that it can be done (maybe your father complains about her doing too little).
Maybe your mom is just so miserable that she has to find something to complain about. In that case the only thing you can do is move out, if you are old enough. If you are a minor try to learn to ignore her attitudes.

I'm afraid you"ll have to be the grown-up in this situation. Sit her down and show her your question and ask her what SHE thinks you should do. That way anything she says will be her idea and impossible for you to get blamed for a wrong solution! If she's slightly "wacky" and for some reason "gets off" on bothering you, make sure during your discussions you don't show emotion or frustration. Hope this helps
ps - It would have helped to know the ages of both of you. If you make decent money you could hire Merry Maids to clean up and she could blame them. No, never mind. Not only would you be accused of being lazy but wasteful with your money as well.

I don't know how easy this would be...I think I'd find it hard, but perhaps you should have someone talk to your mum for you. Like an aunt or cousin or friend of the family...just bring it up in conversation...i.e I was talking to x the other day and he/she's really confused as to what you expect.
Don't know if it would help, but talking directly to your mum, i.e over coffee or something, out of the house, when you're both in a good mood, one day might help too.
Good luck.

uhhh...doubt it is for no apparent reason....how old is your mom? Ever consider that quite possibly she is starting menopause, which is going to make her uncomfortable, moody and just sometimes downright hard to be around...
and there is little she can do about it...
try this - go to your mom - ask her to make a list of things she would like you to do that day...and get them done to the best of your ability...and just try your best to stay the heck out of her path...
if it is menopause, it's a really crappy time for a woman....one minute she will be fine the next minute weepy or pissed...there are medications she can get on, but some of them give side effects that don't make things much better...
Most important, don't get angry with her and don't take her moods personally - it upsets her just as much as it upsets you.

dude i feel for ya, your mom is crazy. come to my house and clean i wont get mad at ya.
for real tho try talking to her and ask her plain and simple just what it is she expects from you and let her know how you are feeling. Hopefully you two can get things worked out. if that doesn't help or for some reason you cant seem to talk to her try talking to your dad or maybe both of them at the same time.

I think you may just need to have a talk with her and tell her everything you just said above...not only will you feel better, but you may be able to come up with a compromise with her!
Good luck!
I have one of the moms who are never happy with anything!

Talk to her. She really needs to be taking medicine. She can't tell you you're always "FOLLOWING HER" or something if it's for something good.
Or my solution, run away from home (or make an attempt) in front of her. It'll cheer them up REAL fast.
