some things I don't really get, apparently I'm bright but I can't make connections. example, I don't see why having a workspace with all my game cards and other junk next to me. why I shouldn't leave my bed unmade, why I should study really hard. I'm yet to get answers. I always ask my mum about things I don't see the point to, and why I should do them. she always tells me
a. you should already know
b. your playing me, you can't be that stupid.
c. just do it. a mother should be able to tell her kid to do something, and they'll do it. they won't question it. 

she doesn't get I want answers. she gets angry when I pester her, and says I'm always want a better answer, and I'm just trying to find an excuse not to do stuff. my problem is she doesn't answer, I'm not picky I just want a reason. she also has a very do as I say, but not as I do. example, she's a hoarder, and has a room in the house *just* for her stuff. she does work from home there. but, even with her crap all around, it's still a good study environment? she says it's because she's lived her life, that's why she has it all. (notice, not answering the question). if I point that out, she will repeatedly call be a smart-ass, and I should be more respectful.

am I really attention seeking? am I being rude to her? am I just so dumb I can't see the problem here? this is tearing up our relationship. I want to do something, but I want to know the problem before I try solve it.
