My mum is ruining my summer

I am in the middle of my summer holidays going into A2 soon, I am an introvert, I love being alone, my AS year has been so tough, everyday seemed like a struggle, now I am just having some well deserved "me time".

I like begin alone in my room, watching netflix or reading or whatever by myself, and my mum keeps telling me how I do nothing all day, that I should be doing housework, she keeps pestering me, I have cleaned on various occasions, it's not like I do nothing. She is making me feel bad, like I'm the reason for her being so tired, she tells me I have some mental disorder being locked up in my room, it makes me feel bad about myself and it makes me feel bad that I like being alone. What should I do ? :frown:

I have this problem too, I'm 16 coming on 17 and I am usually in my room on PS3 playing games stuff like that, but I totally understand, and I do help whenever my mum asks for it but because I have mental health problems, anxiety for one, I don't like going out or socialising so my room is where I stay because I feel calm and safe there, if your mum is worried you might have a problem go and see a doctor and explain about how you like being in your room ect just to put her mind at rest, I'd also recommend sitting down with her from time to time for a cuppa or a chat or sometines come downstairs for a bit, as rubbish as it might be she can't say your always in your room can she :wink: but I'd sit down with her and exam the situation, she might understand, you don't know until you try, good luck x

Are you Asian?
Story of my life. I guess us teenagers are like this until we start university or work.
The reality is when you have your own house you will have to do all of that yourself anyway, I can understand it being a pain sometimes but you are living under their roof.
