Before I begin I want to say that I am not complaining, I absolutely love my mom and my life.
So my problem is my mom's yelling. It's almost like she feels that she cannot get anything across to my siblings and I unless she yells. Sometimes she is even too busy yelled that she doesn't realize that we have already done the things she's asked us to do. I've tried talking to her about it several times. My younger sister once told her that sometimes she doesn't listen to my mom because of her shouting at us all the time. Talking to her never works. I can understand that she is very stressed out at times and wants to come home without any trouble. But instead of asking us to do something, she'll say something like “GET OFF THE TV/COMPUTER AND CLEAN THE GAME ROOM NOW!!!” I'm even embarrassed by it at times because she does it while we have friends over also. I don't think she's simply asked us to do anything in a year.
I want to know if anyone ones anyway I can get through to her. And once again, the talking about to her does not work. I can't even talk to her about anything any more. It feels as if she just does not like having us around even though I know it's not true.
My parents are divorced so it's not like he can help. He lives in Iowa while we live in Texas.

Okay, while I cannot exactly give you much advice on this one, I have to tell you that I am in your shoes. I mean, my father is in Iowa, we're in Texas. And yes, my mother never stops yelling. Personally, I haven't found anyway around it either. But sometimes I do yell back and sometimes it gets through. I know you said that it doesn't help to talk to her but let her know what you think. Be cool and collected though. Gather your thoughts and speak rationally. If push comes to shove go to her voice level and let her know what she sounds like.
