Basically my mom is acting like the biggest bitch ever these days and I'm absolutely sick of it, here's why (Warning: Rant)

First off, my sister and I are both teens and it's summer vacation so it's not a surprise we're up late most of the time and sleeping in pretty late as well. Both my parents discourage this but my dad doesn't force anything on us, but whenever I try to say hello to my mom (when she rarely isn't working) I just get straight up bitched at and lectured in the stupidest way possible. "Staying up isn't good for you, oh you tried to fix your schedule? Too bad try harder". Last time I checked laying in bed for 6 hours doing absolutely nothing is trying pretty damn hard to fix a sleeping schedule. Anything I try to explain to her she immediately ignores and blames my computer which has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Secondly, our family has the stupidest problem with food. My mom will go to the store and get like 2-3 snack things like for example a pie and a box of hostesses. I'll come down later at night and see like, 2 or 3 of them left in the box. I'll eat 1 or 2 and then the next morning when I wake up I get yelled at because "someone didn't get any" which is complete BS that my mom automatically blames me and completely ignores the fact that my sisters ate some of them as well, especially my youngest sister that is a complete suck up to her these days.

So today at dinner I asked if there were any sodas left, I get a reply from her saying "Maybe there would be if the late-night brigade wouldn't have drank them all" WELL SORRY FOR HAVING FUCKING ONE OF THEM, REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I DIDN'T GET ANY OF SOMETHING AND YOU JUST TOLD ME "Oh well you snooze you lose!"

TL;DR: I'm so sick of my mother acting like a complete ignorant stubborn hypocritical bitch 24/7 and rarely getting to ever just say hi to her. What can I do to fix this? My dad says try talking to her when she's alone and whenever I do she gives me this crap and it just makes me want to punch her.

Family can be bitches right?

First off, it is rather natural for teens to stay up later in the summer holidays simply because a lot more might happen at night. However you have to think. Do you help out around the house? I mean if your mother works a lot and has to cook meals/clean house you need to see it from her point of view as you stay up to 3/4/5am and then wake up at the crack of noon and she has to work and do the house work. I could understand her being a little on edge about this kinda stuff.

However again she might just be one of those people who like complain a lot. I don't know if you try helping a bit more and maybe not sleep to noon then you might get on better.

As for the food part. Again probably kinda stupid system. I mean she buys meals right? So maybe she thinks if you ate properly throughout the day instead of missing meals and staying up half the night that you would not be eating so many snacks? Again just an observation. As I myself have turned night into day with my summer holidays. So I see the connection. However I tend to not sleep very long.

However again she could be just annoyed at something else and taking it out on you. I don't know.

Overall I suggest discussing with her you feelings. As family life can be stressful.

Yeah, I agree with the poster above me! Try to get on your mums good side, tidy the house up when she's working is a good way! My mum works 9-5 Monday through Friday so each day I do the dishes, Hoover and sweep and general tidy up, that only takes around 30 minutes and saves a shit load of hassle when y mum comes home.

She never tells me to do this but me and my mum get on magically anyway but it's just good to see her come home from work smiling and relaxing :)

If you don't like talking to her, than simply don't. Also, most moms will want you to talk to them but from what you posted I can tell that you don't exactly want to go outa your way to give her what she wants from you.
