I don't think teens and parents sit down together and have enough discussions any more. They rarely even sit and eat together. So if one wants to talk to the other, they have to drag the other off their favourite type of screen, which annoys the second one.
A lot of mothers are working too so they are worn out by the time they get home, the teen can take advantage of this and browbeat them until they get what they want. They are also often taller and stronger than their mothers so won't tolerate any physical discipline. In my day we were beaten at school with metre sticks or rulers, and at home with a leather belt etc. nowadays, that's not allowed so teens can get away with no punishment.
Mothers love their kids and want them to have all the things that we didn't, and don't want their kids to feel deprived. Instead, their teens are spoiled with 'gadgets' and 'designer clothes' and are legitimately shocked when they have to fend for themselves - not good!
I've always believed in reverse psychology so mine believes he has to leave at 16 yo! The closer he's getting to that age - the nicer he's being :o)
Why are Teens and young people SO RUDE to thier parents (mother) ?
