FOR "TL;DR"- Tell your mom how you feel, and not just in a "Oh, well, I think you're being just the slightest bit unfair..." kind of way. If she yells, yell back. You're eighteen, you don't have to put up with shit. Move out if you really feel that way.

She'll miss you doing shit around the house, that's for sure.

Don't be a pushover.

My friends say I'm spoiled, because I'm open with my parents.

I know the difference between a parent giving punishments, and a parent being an asshole.

My mom, about a year ago, used to go crazy on me. She was always stressed out, and I knew that. She was always having troubles with my father, not to mention financial struggles.

She would yell at me, for no reason.

Now, this is where my friends would get surprised.

I yelled back. I told her not to yell at me, especially since she's just mad at her husband. I knew she was stressed, but that is no excuse to go apeshit on me for no reason.

Now, one of my friends has parents that push him around. No, I'm not saying that they are actually parenting, they are going over the top.

When his mom is mad, he's usually the one that gets the shit end of the stick. I tell him to stick up for himself. He never does. So she just keeps on doing it.

The point I'm getting at is that if you don't call her out on it, she'll only continue with that.
