At the age of fourteen, you can't get a "proper job". No one is going to hire a fourteen-year-old with zero experience in a customer service position, where you are responsible for dealing with monetary transactions and representing the business to the public. Why should they? There are people older and more experienced than you who they can choose to hire instead. If you were hiring, would you take the 14-year-old with no job history at all, or the 16-year-old who has a list of satisfied customers from his lawn-mowing service?
I don't think your parents are being unreasonable at all, to tell you the truth. It seems to me that your mother offered you help in getting a job, and you threw it in her face. Hoovering for old grannies is where you start! Do good work for them, and their letters of recommendation will get you the "proper job" you want. Act like that kind of work is beneath you, and you project exactly the sort of attitude that will keep you from getting hired anywhere.
The reason why your parents are telling you what you have to do, and not letting you make your own decisions, is that you are making poor decisions. Yes, you can leave home when you're 16, but have you considered what your source of income is going to be if you're not willing to take the work that is available to you? Do you intend to simply stop eating if you can't get the job you want?
If you really do want to become independent, start laying the groundwork now. Take the work you can get, make some money and get a list of references going, then go after the "real" job when you can prove to the hiring manager that you're capable of doing good work.
I doubt this advice is making you happy, but please consider it carefully. If you want to be treated like an adult, you need to stop acting like a child. Responsible adults work for their money, and they do what needs to be done. When you say you're leaving home at sixteen but you show none of the initiative to do what it takes to make a living, you are basically throwing a tantrum. If that's your strategy for success, then your parents are right about one more thing: you're going to learn a lot of life lessons the hard way.

Why would you complain about these little things. -.- as long as your making money you shouldnt complain. There are far more important problems then that. for instance, child abuse,starvation,etc,etc. If your gonna move out at 16, then move out.Dont complain though.
