My mother is doing my head-in so much, i swear i can't take any more of it or i'll explode!!!She nags at me about everything; getting towels wet, splashing toothpaste around the sink, getting make-up on her bed, Not eating enough, eating junk food, taking more time than i should in getting ready for school, getting crumbs on the carpet AND now she wont even let me wash my hair in the shower - even tho its quite greasy! I'm sick of it, she's strict about everything and never stops nagging - she's like it with my dad aswel and something he'll stick up for me when she's making a big deal out of nothing! I love her, of course i do! But its gettin a bit too much and i'm so stressed with her constantly! One of these days i think i'm gonna crack up and completely yell at her until she's in tears! I don't want to do anything of the sort - but she's driving me MAD! what can i do about it? Reply to this Question

I know it can be quite annoying but don't let that bother you (even though the shampoo thing is kinda weird). Don't make an argument just do as she says and if it's too much calmly tell her to relax a bit because that you're getting stressed up. She's your mother and she will understand. But remember that she does have a lot more experience in life than you so a little everyday lesson should'nt hurt ;)From: The li'l helper.

Just give her a few hugs and try and get things right for her, not easy i know. Tell her you love her and that you are doing your best, but it is hard being your age and getting things right. Some people (both men and women) are prize A nags. It is not restricted to just women either. There may be things in her life that make her tense and you come along do things wrong and get the full blate of it. Try and see things from mums point of view and i am sure things will work out for the best once you get a bit older. Me and my daughter are the best of friends and she is having a baby which is due any day, but things were pretty much horrible in the past. Hormones, teens, boys, school etc, yuk its a horrible age, just try not to make it worse.
take care

 Write down some things she can do for you if you dont do these things that drive her mad, and agree to it. It worked for me and my mum and we devised penaltys between us for not sticking to agreements. You must remember its her home and she spends a lot of time looking after it and you, a comprimise is all you need, she will be impressed by your adult attitude too.And you will both get something out of it. Good luck

You'll be able to please yourself exactly what you do or don't do. You'll be able to leave lights on all over the place and leave the sink full of dishes and no-one will mind one bit.
Then when you have kids they'll p**s you off for wetting more towels than necessary and not hanging them out to dry, leaving crumbs in the bed, getting make-up all over the place, staying in the shower for hours on end (costing you a fortune) and blocking the plughole with hair and not clearing it out again etc etc.
I bet you can't wait to be a parent!
