My mom 57f keeps acting crazy….
This is what the house like normally.
For the last few years I 27f had a job where I could be home around 2pm. Make dinner an help around the house. At the time I was working 110 hours every two weeks. Took 2-3 college classes and taking certifications. I would get up at 4am go to work. Get off around 1pm. Go to college classes from 2-3pm. My certifications were 7pm-10pm. Then 11pm-2am study and get my homework done.
Yes I had multiple jobs(2-3jobs per day) 16 hours a day.
Then I changed jobs. The new job would teach me a certification skill.
Around October I lost my job because I failed one test. They fired me. (ABC test)
Since January I enrolled in my certification. I’ll be done with it by the end of next month.
Yes I don’t have a job. I’m paying my mom rent money. I have applied. But no job will take me because I said I need to be off because my certification is on the weekends. Everything wants me to work the weekends. My previous job said get that certification. We will rehire you.
I study. I cook and clean and make sure my mom has nothing to worry about.
However, let’s say I clean around 9am. Get done around late afternoon. My mom comes home and finds hair on the floor. She will say you did not clean!!! That was a lie!!
And then yell at me for not cleaning. Last two weeks I was memorizing my skills and learning different bones, nerves, atries, veins of the human body.
I forgot to “clean”. Meaning I did dishes and cooked. I just forgot about doing laundry or yard work outside. Which we pay someone to do yard work.
I went ops I forgot about it. I do laundry on Saturday. And do one big load of laundry and it’s all done Saturday evening.
Tonight my mom asked me why there is no hot meal. Even tho I took her to the gym. She uses my free guess pass to go to the gym. And I have to be there. Even if I cook her a meal. She will look at it and go ewwww and make something else….
She screamed at me why the magnet on the fridge had a frowny face. I was like oh I did laundry throughout the day and check the dehumidifier and it was running.
Then she said well you have to find a sink stopper. I am like I don’t know where that is because one my mom will change the lay out if the house. She will move pots and pans in where the blankets are. Change where things go. I am like If I touch anything you start yelling at me.
And then she said I’ll sell the house because I don’t get a warm hot meal. You did no laundry today. You do nothing but play video games!!! I have to record you because you did nothing all day.
I’m like ok. You can sell the house. I’ll go live in my car.
And then she started freaking out saying I’m being dramatic. I’m like no. Rent where we live is 2-3k a month. Your mortgage per month cost you 600$.
And she mom yells at me for making the electric bill so high. Even tho when I’m home I turn no lights on while I’m studying. I use sun light to read and she still screams at me on why the electric bill is 500$. I told her we have ai centers all over our state. We have 15-30 all over they don’t want to pay their bills. We get stuck with it.
She said it’s fake news
TLDR: I lost my job a few months ago. I am trying to get my certification because my old job said get it. We will hire you again. So I am studying.
My mom said I am not doing anything all day. She needs to have a hot meal everyday. Things need to be cleaner! But I do everything she asked. And I feel like it’s not good enough.
Edit to add. My mom will tell her friends how much I help around the house. And her friends will text or call me saying how much my mom appreciates the help around the house.
