Hi ~ I'm sorry you feel the way you do about your Mom. Can I just ask a few questions?

Do you think that your Mom is tired when she comes home from work?
Does your Dad work?
Why do you think your Mom "bosses" your Dad around? Do you think that if she didn't, that your Dad would get those things done??
Would you do the dishes or laundry if she didn't ask?
In what way is she nosy and prejudice?

Some of these things are what Mothers DO. Alot of times Mothers have to be the ones that get things "going" in the house because if THEY don't "boss" then nothing ever gets done. The Fathers' don't care about the housework as a rule. Most Fathers would live in a pig sty and be happy. LOL And since Mom works outside the home, she has a RIGHT to have help around the house!! It would be different if she wasn't working. But she is. It would NOT be fair if she had to come home and do ALL the housework too! You're old enough now to HELP around the house. And yes, your sister should help too -- why doesn't she - or does she and you just didn't put it down?

I'm not trying to be mean honey -- you're just like ANY teenager. Teens HATE to have to help around the house. LOL I've never seen one that liked it. But just try to be fair about it, ok?? And don't be so hard on Mom. She's just trying to keep the household going FOR YOU KIDS. Give her a break, ok? If she wasn't working, you couldn't afford all the nice things you have.

Take care honey - and give Mom a hug once in awhile and tell her thanks. Hugs, Lee
