hey, me and my mom fight a lot about little things too. sometimes you just have to let it go and let her think she's won. but you can't always do that. it really depends on the situation, but for an essay i would let my mom think she won and just do what ever i wanted to in the end. i hope this help you

It sounds like yourself and your mother don't listen to one another. My mom and I fought all the time when I was living under her roof. It got heavy to the point that I ended up a few nights in jail for our fist fight we got into. Try to point out to your mom in a calm way to stop for ten seconds, take a breather, and then just listen to you and you listen right back. She is trying to help you , honestly. You're most likely growing up so fast in front of her eyes and she's scared. Once you can hopefully get out of her what is truly bothering her, you can understand what she needs to feel complete and you can ask her to please understand what you need to feel complete. If this means more time to yourself and then in turn giving her some time too, then you both need to understand to give that to one another. It could be many different things keeping you both under fire at one another, but hopefully in time, you can talk to one another and hear each other out. It took my mother and I almost 6 yrs, but we've learned to respect one another as persons and family. I wish you all the luck!
