Fights
My mother and I fight all the time. She blames our finacial problems on me all the time. She yells at me if I go out with my friends, but if I stay home me and her fight alot. Most of the time she gets mad at me for something simple like me sleeping in, being on the internet or asking for a friend to come over. I know I do get my way with my dad, but I don't ask her for much and I try to do what she says so I won't make her mad. But no matter what we started fighting like crazy! I'm so sick of it, I hate being with her, what should I do?

Your Mom is probably stressed, and when people are under stress they get cranky! My advice is to volunteer to help your Mom as much as possible so you can show that you are responsible, and it will give her a break. Once she learns to relax a little perhaps the small things won't bother her as much and you won't fight a lot.

Talk to her and tell her all those things. Not while you're fighting, but some morning before you even have one.
Just say something like this....
Mom, I really hate it that we seem to be fighting all the time. I don't want to argue with you. I find myself trying to avoid you so that we don't fight. I wish I could help you with money but I am just a kid. Please tell me what I can do to help so we aren't fighting all the time.
Then, if she has some ways you can help, do them to the best of your ability. Turn off lights, do some dishes whatever it takes. It sounds like she is really stressed out and taking it out on you. Help relieve some of the stress. Then you will be looked at with a smile instead of aggravating her. :)
