Is it normal for a parent to get mad when the kids clean the house?

My mom doesn't like it when me and my younger siblings do stuff around the house like try to clean and organize the garage, or pull weeds out of the flower beds, or even take out the kitchen garbage. I think maybe there's something wrong with her. I mean, what parent is gonna be anything but happy when their kids help around the house? It's not even like we're gonna do anything major like knock down walls or even repaint anything all we'd do is move small furniture and maybe find some portable shelves and set them up.


Before our dad moved out he would ask us to take out the garbage or whatever and we would be like moms not gonna like it and he would be like do it anyway you have to do whats right.


So I mostly just wanna know is this normal? And also is there anything I can do I'm sick of living in a pigsty but at least I'm off to college soon yay!

Yeah something is definitely wrong with your mom. I think your cleaning reminds her of your dad or perhaps makes her feel deficient as a mother (she isn't doing what she should be) so she resents you for it rather than appreciating your doing it.





I'm sorry for you guys. I think you are terrific kids and keep doing it despite your mother because obviously she is not well and needs to get her head on straight.





You will grow up and move out one day so don't let her problems become your problems. And keep shaking her up. She needs to get straight and focus on the here and now and on living. Talk her into getting some help or just get her to lighten up a little and have some fun.





I think your mother is suffering from depression or some sort of other mental illness.
Reply:not really, but she may have everything speacaly organized, or oraganized like it was when ur dad left.
Reply:my mom can be like that to,sometimes parents are too stressed out to explain there feelings so they just take it out on anything they can.but if she continues to act this way even when there is no problem try to ask her whats wrong with cleaning the house

Reply:YOU CAN DO ALL THE CLEANING FOR ME, I CAN NOT PICTURE A MOTHER WHO WOULD NOT WELCOME HELP FROM HER CHILDREN
Reply:Talk to her-there may be an underlying issue here. Tell her how you feel and that you want to help. Listen to her-of she doesn't want you to do it you'll just have to deal.

Reply:Sounds to me like your mom might just have anal issues about things being done a CERTAIN way or only her way. Or perhaps she is under some other undue pressure or stress in her life that you aren't aware of. I have taken out my frustrations irrationally on my kids before even when they are TRYING to help. She's human, imperfect too - just like you. Cut her some slack and if you are old enough to be leaving for school - try sitting her down calmly and kindly %26amp; lovingly and try to emphathize with her and see if SHE NEEDS someone to talk to or what's up???? She'll appreciate it. Moms need understanding and patience and someone to talk to too - she's been there for you your whole life - give her a break and a hand up.
