Parents...nothing's ever right (long sorry)

Question

I dont even know how to start... im almost 17 and i admit maybe i am lazy at times but either way it seems like even when i do something IT ALWAYS comes out wrong...my mother is always cleaning,cooking etc to a point where it gets annoying, and i understand she likes things to be clean and organized so as an example of what i have done...today i woke up at 9AM just to clean...to clean WELL....I dusted, i broomed, i mopped,i sprayes, i scrubbed bathroom and all...okay maybe its the first time i actually have done it but something is something...idk, first thing mom said was about how she had to clean the house (when she woke up)...WHAT? it seems like things are only right when they do it...or when they're near you to see you do it...their way...Im seriously considering moving out since this upcoming year will be my last at high school... i changed my mind and thought that things would cahnge by the time im 18 so i decided not to move but im sorry for myself and it bothers me to think i'd have to move out and stress with maybe more than one job at the age of 17....this is long im sorry, but i barely go out, just yesterday i was out and by the time i came home it was 8pm that was such a big deal! and the thing is that she argues w. my dad so i can have more liberty and when she does let me out she seems to worry even more than him, she calls me alot when im out and quite frankly is embarrassing i even argued when i came home cuz i told her she disbelieves me she says no but u should call...call what? every 5 minutes i give a few steps forward? i was at a friends house and we decided to go to the PARK did i have to call her to say o we're bored, so can we go to the park? i cant take it it may not sound serious but to me it is

Answer 1

i would just try 2 explain 2 her how ur SEVENTEEN not 10 anymore and ur becoming an adult soon and that u dont want 2 be treated like that anymore. =]

Answer 2

Parents often have hard time to realize that their kids are not little kids anymore... I had that kind of parents... I really had huge fights with my mom, and chose to go to the university as far as possible of home (an 8 hours drive).

Once I moved out, I realized that it could have been the worst mistake of my life, because I could lose my mom. Luckyly, everything went well, and my mom and I are now close friends.

But to get there, I had to talk to her. Let her know how I felt. I cried and she cried.

The best advice I could give you is to talk to her. If you're afraid not to find the words, you can write her a letter. Or got to the restaurant, just the two of you (that way you're sure there's not going to be a huge fight in public).

Good luck!
