My parents and I have had a rocky relationship lately. I noticed a long time ago that I am extremely different around my friends and around my parents. I'm much more patient and tolerant with my friends, I'm generous and helpful, and in general, a nicer person. But when I get home, I'm a completely different person. I get frustrated very easily by my parents and I get irritated at the slightest things they ask me to do, even if it's a simple request. I'll do it, but my attitude, I have to admit, is less than enjoyable to be around, and I'm much less patient. Does anyone else experience this sort of problem and know why it happens and how to fix it? I'm leaving for college in about a week and my mom and I have been fighting about once every other day. She has said that I am ungrateful and unappreciative and that I make my parents so angry that they would have been better off if I hadn't been born. I'm not sure if I really do suck this much or if she's being slightly unreasonable. I really don't want to leave on bad terms, but I'm not sure what to do. Please advise!
