My parents espcially my mother are very dominating. They try to control my life and now my 15 year old daughter since she is living with me/ them.
I work during the day and my mother plans things for my child to do. Yet, she needs to focus on her studies since she did not do well in Math this past semester.
My mother does not listen to me when I say that she need to complete her homework for some classes that she is taking. She says "I understand that" in a very sarcastic way.
I just try to avoid and ignore her. I don't know what else to do.

Congratulations!!!! Your daughter now lives with you- how exciting. now on to the issue of your parents(Mother). Realize that your mother is as pleased as you are that your daughter is now with you. GM is trying to bond with your daughter however has not put the focus on the importance of her Math catch-up. When your M is sarcastic you need to quietly and away from your YOUR child, tell her nicely you realize she wants to spend time with her BUT Math must be a priority and then its fun time for the both of them. Remind your Mother that you are the parent and your guidelines must be adhered to for the sake of the grades. Also, remind her of all the trouble you had with your X and he needs no ammunition to use against you. Avoiding and ignoring the issue will not make it go away- confront it. As for the sarcastic manner in which she speaks perhaps you need to say I do not want to disrespect you but please do not speak to me in that manner it sets a poor example for your daughter. Nipping It in the bud before it escalates is your best approach.

I get the feeling that you live together with your parents, right? Then move. You are the parent of your child and you're the one gets to decide when she is going to study. I don't think you will ever have a good relationship with your parents if you keep on living this close together.

Keep a check on your daughter's homework. I don't see why your mother should even have any say over it. That is up to you. Perhaps you could send her for some extra lessons, if she needs it.
Your relationship with your mother obviously isn't good. Why don't you move out?
