Please help. I can't get along with my mom at all!?

You are reacting like a normal teenager which is fine. You see yourself as an almost grown up and you don't want to take orders from no one. I use to do the same thing when I was that age. The best way to get that closeness back that you want with your mom is to just talk to her. Let her know that you don't like to be called 'bub' when out in public, but of course you know you will always be 'bub' to her. It is just a nickname, everyone has them including me. Your mom is just trying to be there for you. Believe me you will look back at this when you are 30 and married with kids and going through the same thing with your almost grown daughter or son and probably laugh. Please don't ruin your relationship with your mother over petty little stuff like this. Talking is the best way to overcome this and again, let her know that she doesn't have to stand over your shoulder every minute. Talk to her and let her know you are almost grown and that you can be responsible as well. You two should set up some guidelines, like you know she doesn't need to remind you about washing your clothes, because once you realize that you don't have anymore clean clothes then you are going to get off your and wash some. The same with the homework, every mom does it, just let her know just to kind of give you a reminder every now and then, but of course it is going to be on you to remember to do it and if you start slipping then your mom has the right to jump back in. I am uming that taking out the trash is a chore for you, well if you are not doing it then of course she is going to say something, so just make sure you are being responsible about it that is all. But in the end talking does go a long way. I lost my mother July 2, 2008 to cancer, she was 54. I talked to her everyday and believe me I miss that a lot. Hopefully you get things worked out with your mother. Please don't go through the rest of your life being mad about small things like this, because in the end your mother will always be there for you.
