Hm...I must be in the minority here, or the only one speaking up.
Most of the time, my relationship with my mom is okay. If she's in a good mood, we get along just fine, and are like best friends. That's how it used to be before I was about 17. Then I started getting more friends of my own, and not hanging out with only her.
Since then, things have been different. She has a job she hates, and is pretty much depressed all the time. She complains constantly, and doesn't actually listen to me when I talk - she just uses what I'm saying to launch stories of how miserable her day was.
Being home is just like being 10 again. She tells me if I'm up too late. I don't dare go out after a certain time or return after a certain time. Last night she was even telling me how I should spend my money to "help her out" because she pays for a lot.
