My mom keeps getting mad at me for no reason. For example, I was doing my science revision (I was researching the equations) and my mom thinks i'm fooling around. And I finished my homework and rested and my mom starts hitting me saying I am being lazy (I did my work). Sometimes she is extremely impossible. How do I tell her to stop?

Hey Harry, don't take any of this wrong, but you aren't going to get a lot of support from me, but that does not make you a bad person at all and hope I can help with your question and I'll answer that at the end. First, there must be a reason she thinks you're fooling around, she isn't making it up, it might be from the past, but there is a reason.

Second, she's doing her job as a Mom, even if you don't like it. I want to share a letter I found on my bed after a major blowup on my part and it has changed my life.

"For as long as I live, I will always be your parent parent first and your friend second. I will stalk you, flip out on you, lecture you, drive you insane, be your worst nightmare and hunt you down like a bloodhound when I have to, because I love you. When you understand that, I will know you have become a responsible adult. You will never find anyone else in your life who loves, prays, cares & worries about you more than I do. If you don't mutter under your breathe "I hate you" at least once in your life, I am not doing my job. Mom"

My only advice on how you can get her to stop, first buckle down and deal with it. I believe in honesty and communication, and it was my Mom that instilled that in me. I would ask her in a very calm matter and in a moment of peace, that you want to talk to her, that you have things bothering you. Be open, calm and honest with your discussion. Never raise your voice to anything she has to say. Staying calm and collected is a big key. Whether you like it or not, listen to what she has to say, and then obey it. You will eventually win more independence, and trust me, I know this one.

If she is the type that will not listen, then I would talk to a school counselor, but I lay odds that she is nothing more than a Mom who loves you. Good Luck and the very best to you.

I guess if she is getting on at you to do revision etc then its cause she wants you to do well, she wouldnt do that if she didnt care, some kids moms might not take an interest at all but yeah i bet it gets on your nerves as well. Maybe sometimes when she gets on at you she might be stressed at something else that day and is a bit more strict with you i dunno. If you are able to talk to her ask why she is mad at you, Have you done something that has anoyed her and at least you would know. But remember she is your mom but shes also a person that can get stressed and have days when shes in a bad mood just like us kids do! My mom can be the same about chores and homework, i know its because she wants me to do well though.

I get the exact same thing. Best thing to do is to be blunt and ignore them.
