Are all parents like this?

My mum isn't no, but my ex's mum who I sadly had to live with for a few years was a asbolute psycho bitch. The ex and I went on holidays and when we came back the sons were arguing as usual. She came up to me (not arguing at all and staying quiet) and screamed at me and my ex she wished we never came home :/ Once the boys had been arguing and my ex called her crying (He was 22 :S) as his bro hit him. Again NOTHING to do with me. I was in bed asleep... she came home raging and screaming going insane she then turns to me and screams in my face

"You're an awful person! You're making my son into a horrible person, causing the younger son depression. My husband is going insane because of you and you're causing my business to go bad!" what I don't get is a) her son (my ex) was already a horrible person. b) her younger son was just a jerk and refused to talk to me at all. c) the if the husband was going insane it's not my fault and d) I didn't even work for her damn business! how was it my fault it was going bad???

Doing ANYTHING in that household would have her going insane at you... I left a towel in the laundry once because I didn't think there was any point washing a single towel... god she went INSANE! She went crazy at me because I wasn't hanging the washing on the line right (I hang socks and underwear together in pairs, she wanted it all hung out on it's own with a seperate peg) I couldn't use my desktop PC because if she saw me playing games she'd go off her tree. Walking around in my PJ's at 3am was bad. I had to be fully clothed head to toe at all times. I couldn't cook because I was never able to clean the house well enough to meet her standards so I just stopped cooking. My Ex was worthless and refused to get his license everytime his dad tried to take him for a lesson he'd have a tantrum. I tried and he whinged saying he couldn't fit behind the wheel *rolleyes* every morning his Mum had to take him to work as he refused to catch public transport and on several occasions I heard her screaming why couldn't I do it! I flat out refused because a) I wasn't his damn Mum and b) unlike her I had a job that I had set hours. I didn't work in my own business and couldn't come and go as I pleased. When I moved in with my ex because I had to move interstate to do so the idea was move in with his family until I get a job then we move out on our own.... problem was I had a job within a week but I could never convince him to move out of Mummy's home -_-

Awful awful family. I hate all of them. I still do to this date. I only stayed so long because I didn't have anywhere else to go having moved to a totally new city and not having any family there at all. I'm NEVER doing that ever again!

To be 100% honest, if I were you I'd have just laughed and told her to fuck off.

Now, my mom would never do something like that to begin with, but if she ever did I wouldn't even bother talking to her. If I was in your situation I'd probably look to just live at your college or get a couple roommates and live somewhere else. Wouldn't put up with someone like that, family or not.

It's your fault for needing to know more beyond picking her up at noon on Tuesday. She said to pick her up a noon ANY day you have off. You tell her Tuesday. You should have picked her up Tuesday. Wtf else was there to discuss?

I do the yard work for my dad (have a little over an acre of land. Lots of lawn mowing to be done, etc). I do a decent amount for a college kid (so I think).

My sister is at some community service thing about 30 minutes from my house (5 mins from my moms work). Last week, mom told me If I had any days off next week to pick her up at 12:00 to drive her home to save her a trip and I told her Ill see what my schedules like. After I got my schedule, I told her that I was off tuesday if she needed me; never heard anything more about it for these past 4 days until she arrived home dropping my sister off, stormed downstairs and continued to yell at me for not telling her I was home today and could've picked her up. I told her I did tell her and that I never heard anything further about it and she stormed back upstairs and slammed the door behind her leaving me in a stupor.

Thinking it was over I went back to rebuilding some ships of my lego star wars collection (yes, Im a 19 year old and play with legos). Well, she calls me no more than a minute or 2 later to say how selfish and lazy I am and how inconsiderate I was being; Asking me if I had cleaned my room yet, etc. And before I could even utter a sound, she hung up.

Im glad my "unclean" room and miscommunication is enough to get a barrage of insults thrown at me over the phone with no hope of a retort. I could be doing drugs in a ditch somewhere, but instead I have an unclean room, seems shes very unlucky to have a kid like me.

Now this is just an example of things that happen with my parents (mostly my mother). Are all parents like this?

My parents were like that. Bitched that I played WoW with friends instead of going out every night. My senior year I had enough of their bitching so I went out more often and started smoking weed, wonder if me playing WoW seems like such a big deal to them now.
