Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I currently attend college and have a job at an after school program. I also live with my mother and younger sister who works at a fast food restaurant.

My mother has made it clear time and time again that she will no longer help me with adult problems. Which is why I do not have health or car insurance at the moment. And since all of my belongings are in her house, she expects me to give her $150 of each of my $370 paychecks.

Currently since the school district is on Winter break, I have two weeks to hang out with my friends who are back from various colleges/unis and my SO who leaves Monday for Mexico, he won’t be back til after New Year. 

Anyways, my mom told me that in order for me to leave the house I needed to clean my room and the kitchen. I planned to leave early in the morning to my SO’s house to have a full day of hanging out. So I cleaned very late at night and decided to not do dishes so I didn’t risk waking up my light sleeper of a mom.

And instead I:

-Cleaned my room
- Cleaned the bathroom and its mirror
- Took out the bathroom trash
- Took out the trash from the trash can
- Fed the cats, dog, and my leopard gecko
- Cleaned the living room which was a disaster thanks to my sister
- and even washed some of my clothing

Once I finished, and patted myself on the back, I took off to my SO’s house. No too long after I got an unhappy text from my mother. She was disappointed that the kitchen was still a mess even though my sister was the reason it was a gross mess in the first place.

I decided I had enough. My mother does not help me in any way. I pay to live there and I never eat the food in the house because there is none. We are a struggling family. I take care of myself and my SO who doesn’t have a job, he only attends college.

I told my mom everything I did to clean and that I no longer wanted to come home for Christmas. Every year Christmas is the same, my aunt and my cousin’s grandmother only take interest in what my cousin has to say. They adore her and all I get in conversation is a “Hi, how are you.” Before the conversation is focused back on my cousin.

Which is only worsened by the fact my mother only talks about my sister and I to them when it’s about negative things. Every Christmas I feel neglected and uncared for. 

My mother told me to grow up, and that I needed to give her positive things to say. She also told me that she would take any money they intended on giving me and tell them to return all presents they had for me.

I’m a college kid who’s working hard to help those around me. I’ve asked for nothing all year, and don’t even desire Christmas presents. All I wish for is my mother to buy the proper medicine for our dog who is growing older and older. I’ve not been to jail or even messed around with drugs. I’m decent at college and I’m fucking great at my job. I may not be an all star child but she’s starting to make me feel like trash.

I told her that she isn’t my mother, and quite frankly I never want to see her again. 


TL;DR - My mother got mad that I didn’t clean the entire house and told me that I needed to grow up and become a better child even though I’ve never asked her for any help or thing and I give her $300 every month for rent.
