how do i get my mom to realize i appreciate her?
i have been really stressed lately.. between my grades, friend drama... and i give my mom attitude sometimes.. and its just because she always wants me to do something in the house.. and she just goes on and on about everything and it drives me crazy.. she makes me feel so badly because she says stuff like oh i want to be appreciated and tells my dog at least you love me... and i adore her but she will not listen to me when i say it.. Help please..

She sounds like a bit of a drama queen - if she wants to feel like a martyr, then that's her choice, and you can't force her to be happy.
But you can make the effort to have your feelings heard. Try writing her a note, or make her a big sweet card, telling her how you feel and why you appreciate her. Also, make an effort to include the sweet with the bitter: next time you give her attitude, start with a positive. "I love you, but I really can't handle your drama right now," "I know you're just doing it because you care, but I need you to stop meddling in my life," etc.

Just walk up to her, give her a big, long hug and say"Mom, your the best mom I've ever had and will have and wanted to thank you for raising me to be such a happy person"

Buy her one of those special greeting cards & then write a personal note inside. Then take her out for a treat, like coffee, etc. I think any mom would like this :)

When she does something for you, tell her thank you. If you don't want her to do something for you, just tell her thanks mom but no thanks.
