my mother is being so incredibly stupid Options

[redpeony]

So my mom has become more annoying than usual lately...

I ran my cell phone bills up for the past two months and for that I was sorry. She told me to use our home line so I did, and she got mad for that because she was missing her business calls. So she told me to use our other home line, so that's exactly what I have been using for the past two weeks.

Now she's making up some stupid excuse about me not managing my time wisely.. because I spend the last two hours of my night talking to my boyfriend. I don't understand! I spend all the time before that doing my homework, and she knows. She wanted me to be honest when I started getting serious about a guy, and that is exactly what I did. Apparently that was a stupid thing for me to do, since all she ever does now is blame every bad thing that happens to me on this relationship. What did she frickin want, for me to tell her so she could have a reason for my misfortunes?!

I realize all parents are dense sometimes.. but it seems like all she ever does is NAG. I even offer for us to spend time together, watch a movie together or some sh*t like that... but no.. that's not it. I swear it's menopause or something. Every single f*cking thing she says to me is about the bathroom being dirty, me wasting my time, not doing enough work around the house...

I'm trying so hard to be a good daughter, I try to strike up conversation, but it's so much more frustrating than it seems. Everything turns into her b*tching about my latest not doing the exact right thing and I just can't believe how she can be so frickin impossible.

Do you guys have any ideas at all of how I can get through to her... I am obviously desperate. I appreciate the fact that my boyfriend respects me and my mom enough to refuse to talk to me on the phone when my mom is angry.. but it seems more often than not that she's pissed off these days. How do I get her happier so I can talk to him freely and without feeling like I have to hide something? I fear that it's gonna tamper our relationship eventually if he's scared to call or talk to me because of my anal mother...

...and that's how you get kids moving out of the house the minute they turn 18!

Thanks for the advice, though. I don't know if I'll actually talk to her, but it helps to know that there are people going through the exact same thing. =p
