Today, I came home from visiting my dad (my parents are divorced and  I live with my mom and prefer it that way). My mom's a sweetheart, but, like all moms, can get on your nerves sometimes. I always help out, do errands for her, and all that stuff, but we get in fights once in a while because of petty things. Like my room, for instance. She just wants me to clean it, and I said that I would, but then she said something like, "Well maybe you would be better off living with your father because I don't like when we get in arguments over small things." My response was, "Oh, really? I love it." C'mon... I hate it just as much as she does.  Then she'll say, "Well I'm just making a statement. Can't I do that?" I'll get frustrated over it. I won't yell, but you can clearly tell that I'm frustrated because I try to explain things, and it'll go around in circles, until she starts to say things to make me feel guilty. Things that I never said. And that frustrates me more.

Anybody else go through this? I just cleaned my room. Wasn't planning to do it until my day off tomorrow, but I did it tonight to get her to stop. Seriously, sometimes it's the first thing I hear from her in the morning when I'm still sleeping, and the moment I step in the door, again.. the same thing.
