Okay so my Mom and I barely get along anymore...She has just turned so...Sour I guess.
Like for example: Tonight, I was trying this clip on tuner that I got for my Viola ( I didn't really think a clip on one was a good idea in the first place but she thought it would be wonderful )
And my viola is 15 inches, and the tuner won't fit around the scroll and there's nowhere else you can put it where you can see it when you're tuning or where it won't be right in your face.
So after like an hour of fiddling with it, even in front of her, figuring out there was NO possible way this tuner was going to work, I simply asked her if we could just return it and get a different one.
She went, " What makes you...SERIOUSLY?! " ( See, here she was going to come up with a suggestion as of how I could use it but she knew that I couldn't so she just said that. )
I told her yes, it wouldn't fit and you can't hold it, it has to be on the instrument, which won't work.
" Well, what other kind would you get?! " She asked -_-
I told her one of the kinds that you just hold or put on the stand, like EVERYONE ELSE has. ( not in that tone )
And she just went " One that will pick up everybody else vibrations?! " ( Not true, it picks up the vibration of the instrument closest to it, which would be mine, and mine only. )
And now she's giving me the silent treatment. I made it clear to her that there's no way that tuner's going to work and she KNOWS that, but she'd mad at me for it.
We can just trade it in, the other tuners are cheaper anyway, money's not an issue.
Why did she get like this all of a sudden, there's fights like this all of the time now. Actually more like her yelling at me because I can't even defend myself or she will seriously probably smack me across the face...I don't know what to do...?

P.S. my point is kinda, what did she want me to say? " Oh yea Mom, nevermind, I'll take the tuner that has no possibility of working out to High School orchestra, totally. "
