Parental Question

[Wlfwnd91]

Alright, this may belong in Chit Chat, and if so, then feel free to move it (as I'm sure you do), but I wanted to ask the opinions of some of the smarter thinkers of FFR, to know if I'm just being a whiney little teenaged kid, or if my mom is seriously being a complete douche to me. So heeeere's what happened..

On Friday I made a deal with my mom that I would mow the front yard on Friday, and then the back yard at my discretion. She said "No, I want you to have the back yard done by 3pm on Saturday." So, I agreed and said that I'd have it done. Because I was planning on having the lawn mowed by 3pm Saturday, I made plans for about 4pm on Saturday, for the rest of the night, and I also made plans for Sunday, cause I didn't have any chores I wanted to get done.

Around 2pm on Saturday I went out to the shed to get the mower out, and I realized it was gone. I knew my mom was down at her boyfriend's old house (cause he moved in with us) and they were finishing cleaning it up. So I called and she said that she had the mower, and would be home at 5pm and she said she wanted me to mow the lawn then. I said I had plans and she said that "We'd play it by ear." which means "If I don't like looking at the back yard then I'm going to call for you to come home and mow it, I don't care what you're doing." She let me go by Saturday, which was fine by me. Now I have plans for today, I oughta be leaving in about 15-20 minutes, and it's downpouring. My mom wants me to mow the back yard as soon as it stops raining. I have plans that I had made on Friday, and she's telling me to put em off because she decided to take the lawn mower.

So, her and her boyfriend are playing cards and she asks me to sit down for a minute. I do so, and she starts telling me how I come up with all these excuses to not get my work done, and how I take advantage of her and everything she does. How I don't do any work around the house, or help out in any way shape or form, and how everyone just wants wants wants and never gives.

I clean the bathroom every day because I HATE filthy bathrooms. It's an OCD if you will. I do my own dishes which the entire household decided on (doing their own dishes), and the only thing I DON'T do is my own laundry.

I'm wondering if I'm right to be pissed about my mom treating me like a lower life form, or if by her being the parent and me being the kid I AM a lower life form. Should I bend over and be the bitch? Or am I just being a whiney little 16 year old?
