How do I be a "good" son

[ZACK0]

By living by here expectations and doing what she says, doing chores/jobs without needing to be reminded or asked. I don't know about your exact situation but I those are probably the easier ways if you aren't planning on sitting down and talking.

1) be more responsible
2) do things without having to be asked
3) if she lays down a rule, obey it
4) go the extra mile in doing things
4) be more mature in your attitude towards things
5) be more responsible
6) take responsibility for your mistakes
7) be open to discussion
8) if you give your word, stick to it

I don't know your exact situation either but I know that when relationships go downhill, especially with parents, communication is tough. But it's so important to express your opinions and tell her exactly how you feel. Be clear and respectful whenever you speak. It's equally important to have your opinions heard and your feelings acknowledged. Your Mum deserves to be listened to as well, even if you're both upset with each other for things. Trust is built alot on the reassurance that the parties involved will all listen to and accept each other's thoughts and feelings, despite emotions being wild. Maybe have a talk with your Mum when you're both in a good head space, and let her know you care about the relationship and want to make it better. If she cares, which I'm pretty sure she does, she will do whatever she can to work things out with you. I don't think you're a bad son, don't be too hard on yourself just because things aren't going well, okay?

How about exceeding her expectations? Offer to do things for her. Work hard, do chores even if you don't need to. Talk to her , ask her how her day was and seem interested. If she wears new clothes, tell her they look nice etc.

"doing chores/jobs without needing to be reminded or asked"
That was kind of what I was trying to imply, your advice is good too.
