2 parts to this.

I got home last Sunday from a holiday in england, to a shit hole of a house, which is fine, I appreciate that my parents work hard. So the next 2 days I spend *Straight after I got home* cleaning the entire house, from 9AM to about 6PM both days.
On the 3rd day I'm taken to the dentist where they did painful stuff which lasted 2 days. On the first of those 2 days, I'm dragged to a sit market stall, 9AM - 4PM with a mouth hurting like hell and having to set off to the market at 7:30AM.
Then yesterday I spent thoroughly cleaning my room out, throwing away everything I don't need/want any more and re-arranging my entire room. I got help with moving things about, that's all.
Then today, I get up, take a shower and hoover up downstairs and do some dishes, and my mother goes ape shit at me because I didn't get up at 9AM to do those dishes, even though I did them later on, and then goes ballistic at me because I didn't ask if there was any other work to do. Basically 2 days where I only did a couple of things. What's up with that.
Another argument erupted when she mentioned a computer that I'm getting for my birthday next month. I needed a monitor and I'd saved up for an expensive game (£100 ish) and she said

"If you want, you can take your game money and spend that on your monitor for your computer and I'll give you the money back for the game closer to it's release date"

So I did that, since it was my grandparents that bought the computer and my mum was going to buy the monitor. Originally I was going to buy the monitor myself, but she INSISTED that she would.
Then she used that against me, because I didn't do much work today, even though I'm in pain and not feeling well at all.

I'm planning on more cleaning in the next few days and my mum knows this, but she still raged at me.

I felt like going round and breaking things and I really don't want to tallk to anyone at the minute, apart from my boyfriend.
I feel so unappreciated, lately and they would be living in a hovel if I didn't clean up.
Also, could this mean that I have an anger problem? I felt like going round and breaking things

I have the same problem where i usually brake throw anything i can get on my hands at the moment, I made a thread abut it as well. Read this see if it hepls in any way :)

This is the one i though was help full, krezlyn posted it...

This isn't typical anger, it's a sign that you were taking on more than what you're mentally capable of handling.

There's no way of taking control of a situation that is defined by complete loss of control. However, now that you are aware of the circumstances which led to the experience, similar occurrences may be prevented. Be sensitive to your inner dynamics - you should know when stress levels are building to a dangerous point. Recognize it, slowly withdraw from the task at hand, and try to take a break - regardless of how existing pressures are arguing against it.

If you can't concentrate, don't force yourself - come back to the task when you feel ready. Going out for a walk and listening to music is a great way to clear the mind. If you were procrastinating and ended up working with a strict deadline, well now you know that it's in your best interest to allow for a larger amount of working time.

Listen, I'm not here to criticise your parents, but regarding a child as a home help or slave labour is not normal here in the UK. I would suggest you keep as calm as you can until the school holidays are over then maybe talk to a school counsellor if you can.

It's not child labour, I chose to do all the work when I was on holiday, because I'm usually quite lazy, I thought I would help out by thoroughly cleaning and it just got thrown back in my face.
