WARNING: PM ALERT
16 years ago
A picture can be worth more...
PM stands for Psycho Mother btw.
Basically she's getting on my case about how I don't live up to her standards. We have family coming over and she's going ballistic over the fact that I don't view "clean" the same way she does.
It's pretty much my room she cares about, and I can't get her to understand that for us ALL to be happy, she needs to let me do my thing. I don't know if it's the teenage angst right now, but she's pretty much gotten me into a fairly pissy mood now.
She claims that the fact that I don't have the same standards she does is due to a lack of respect, which I must admit that my respect-tank for her is hovering just above empty at this moment. I've tried explaining to her that she cannot control my life the way she is, but she doesn't listen (if she does she doesn't make it very apparent).
I believe that I've figured out what the problem is. She hates to be wrong.
The evidence is that, whenever I start to win an argument she either...
a) gets the last word and storms off, getting my dad mad at me because she's pissed.
b) comes up with a way to make the argument go in her favor, gets the last word, storms off, and my dad gets mad at me because she's pissed.
or c) comes up with some sort of off-the-wall logic that make no sense, gets the last word, and yadda-yadda-yadda, blah-blah-blah.
So as far as I'm concerned right now, she's borderline insane. Maybe this is how all mothers act, I don't know. But I am tired of having to listen to it and wish oh so much that I could literally maker her STICK. A. SOCK. IN. IT.

That said, you may be angry because you've already cleaned it, thought it was clean and your mother thought otherwise. If she doesn't, then ask what you did wrong and work on it, perhaps by asking where things should go.
I can't draw a parallel between our mothers because my Mom never assumes she is right. She's a pushover when it comes to the family and her job, but is real good with reverse psychology. Whenever she wants me to do something, and I refuse, she makes me feel guilty for not doing it and thus I do what she says.
I don't have the answers for this problem, but do remember that she's only trying to help you and is not crazy by telling you that you need to take care of your personal domain.
