You two are alone, aren't you. Hey, it's normal to for parents to irritate their kids. It's part of the job description. If she's a single parent, realize she has sacrificed A LOT to raise you & be there for you. She can't go out and let her hair down like people w/out kids, or married people can, (time/$$). Think about it, she works all day, then, comes home to take care of you. This is NOT your fault, this too is part of the job description (for single parents anyway). But it would help if you understood that. You're old enough to talk too about some adult things now, and she wants to be close to you, because she loves you. (Otherwise, she wouldn't have sacrificed so much). She may also need someone to listen to her (that IS why women talk so much). I know it's not easy, but if you can learn to interact w/her a little more, & listen (or, pretend to), a little more, you may find life a little easier. She just wants to connect with you though, she may not know exactly how to do that. You can help her there. Communicate w/her. Try to put yourself in her shoes once in a while. Try to understand her point of view, you may find yourself liking to be with her a little more. (small steps, a little here and there can make a world if difference). It's nice to see a post from someone who's not completely self-absorbed, just troubled. Try not give her too hard a time. Take care kid, I hope this helps.
