ok so here's the deal...my mother treats me like a little kid, and not in the way where she'll do everything for me, its like she wont let me out for anything, and if i want to go somewhere i have to beg her constantly until she says yes! i always ask her why and she says its because im lazy, and i ask her what does that have anything to do with it, and she says that until im not lazy i cant go out. i dont get it, my job is usually to clean the living room, i have it clean most of the time along with my own room, i do what she says but she always gets mad at me b/c when there are dirty dishes and stuff i just look at them and dont clean them..i tell her its not my job and she gets mad! And then she gets mad whenever i do clean up, she says that it upsets her whenever i clean up only because i want to go somewhere! shouldnt she be grateful anyways? i mean i understand raising me and three other kids by herself, but why doesnt she ever give me a break?

dont know your age it doesnt matter...... I'm 40 a single mother of two girls and adopted my neice, 2 years ago. I'm sorry she blows you off..... she does love you. I'm treated like a child from my kids. They are 20,18,and 10. I do everything for them I think... Ha. little did I know its time for a reality check. Even though I buy them everything they want ... they really want me. Their mother, I'm not happy with my life, I dont blame them. I couldnt live my life w/o them. Go in her room. Say mother turn the TV down/off! I need to talk now! I love you mom I want you to be happy. We adults sometimes need to hear advice from our children. My 10 yr. old will tell me, wake up mom... IM RIGHT HERE. I woke up. If you are honest with eachother, perhaps she will wake up and not let her children be as unhappy as she is. Let her know its daylight. Lets do something free and be active. The only friends I have are my 3 daughters. I'm trying ..... I'm still unhappy, I dont show it. We all have fun now. And they are happy they have their mom back. please dont use things against her ... well I did this for you. ..... you did what you did to please her, she sees it. Find someone you know, other sources. They will drive you. prove to her you can be more of an adult and not put your life on hold just because she is .... Love ya kiddo, Good Luck. No matter how old or young we are hold yourself accountable for your actions, you lead your path to a succeful life

No offense, hon, but she treats you like a kid because you SOUND like a kid. Your entire question sounds like a whiney spoiled kid who rolls her eyes and stomps her feet when asked to help. TRY THIS!!! Kill her with kindness. Kiss her hello and goodbye and keep up with your chores and THEN some. Have her walk into the living room and your room and watch her eyes pop because everything is done to perfection Then say " and by the way, I emptied the dishwasher and took out the garbage" You'll be amazed at how fast she starts treating you like a grown up. AND how much better you get along AND how much better you'll feel about yourself.

Give mom a break, sounds like you are really lucky to me.... when you are about 24 you will understand. She wants/needs your help, and wants you to do it for the right reasons, not a self serving one. She is teaching you a very good trait. If you take the initiative in helping out and then ask for nothing, she will see that you are maturing and ready for more freedom.

Your mother is tired. She doesn't know how to relax. Do the house chores without being told. Become more responsible and she could start letting you out. Be mature about it.
Just remember parents will be parents, and nothing you do is right or done right. Someday you will be doing the same.
