Lol soudns liek me and my mom . Im also 17 and me and my mom are VERY CLOSE but you knwo what we went through a bit of a rut. Its typical. Maybe shes goign through menopause. Considering your hormones are raging and so are hers that coudl be a clash. Well that was my insident. But all in all its typical . Yoru a typical teenager. You werent listening to her fully about the washing machein so you screwed up . Maybe she has been in a bad mood latly. Who knows but trust me you guys will recover. Promise

Hi Rachel. When I was 13, I was the typical, smart-ass, moody, half-monster teenager. As in, we actually had to sit sown as a family and discuss my attitude. I was driving my mother insane. Eventually though, I became whole human again and my mother and I had a great relationship. Until I got to be about 17/18. We started arguing all the time over everything. Not just how late I could stay out or who I could date, it was everything. I'm sure we argued over laundry at some point! This time it wasn't just me. My mother was completely freaking out because I had grown up. I had a job and I paid for my own clothes, make-up, food, art supplies, everything I did, I paid for. Big decisions were starting to come my way and it would drive her crazy that she couldn't make them for me, especially if my choice wasn't the one she would've made. She was losing control over me. I saw her and my little sister go through the same thing. Try not to take the bait if she tries to start an argument. Speak calmly to her if you have a disagreement about something. Tell her you respect and appreciate her advice and opinions. Show her how mature you really are by letting the small things roll off your back.

Maybe your mom might be having some problems in her own life and might not want to tell you what is going on becuase she thinks that you might get sad. It has nothing to do with the love with you and her. You should sit down and talk to her. You are 17 you are old enough to do that. There are many reasons why you guys might be fighting. If you sit down and talk with her you might get the situation under control, and not fight as much as you do.
Sincerly,
Sydney
