obsessive cleaning and yelling at me

Hi,

so my parents are obsessed with cleaning. I have to wake up early in the weekends cuz my mom has to work, and I have to help her before she goes.
If the cleaning doesn't get done, she will overreact,cry,scream, that she cannot handle it and we have to help her or she would trip.

Today I was re-organizing my room, and it's not done yet, she is constantly telling me to vacuum and get it done (I have worked really hard on it re-organizing everything), but i'm so freaking tired right now, i need to relax. My mom keeps on going, I just need a break but she won't give me that. Maybe a few minutes, she keeps on pushing that I have to do it right now.

I get frustrated of this situation, each day, same story. Everyday housekeeping has to be finished like crazy. I told my therapist what I do before I go to therapy as in housekeeping and she told me it's a lot, she told me it must be a very stressful situation for me. and it's not good for my sensetivity of emotions
For example I have to vacuum my room almost everyday, and so much more left, and if it doesn't get done they'll get soo mad. and it scares me a lot.

My dad just knocked on the door and he said I should do it right now and not do anything else, I said I'M TIRED AS HELL! I NEED TO RELAX! he said, you just showered now you do work! I said, no!! now it's enough. he brought the vacuum to my room and left. I said ''Get lost and please stop!''

I do a lot of housekeeping everyday, and my parents yell at me all the time, i think this tells a lot about my SA.. I feel lost now!

They don't understand becuz 'it's the way they are'' okay..sure.. but why yelling? i can't understand it.

What should I say to stop this ?? :( I don't know what to do left.. It is picking onme..

I have the same exact story. My mom will scream at me until i don't clean the house. It's very frustrating.

Wow really, I thought I was alone with this. ::(: I'm crying now. It drives me crazy. How do you deal with this? Do you think there's a solution for this?

i know what you mean. it was like that when i was living with my parents. I think for most people or young adults who live with their parents is the same way. Believe it or not, I think they care about you..they want you to be active and do stuff and prepare you for life/work etc... i know you might have your own opinions..but since you're living with them i geuss you gotta see things in their point of view... you could deal with it now ..show them you are working hard..write down a schedule or something and have proof of what your're doing... gosh.. i hope you will be okay.. now that i live on my own i'm so happy and i get along with my family A LOT better!!...as for your mom... she's probably stressed out about many things and is taking it out on you :( just try to be understanding and see things in her view ...do something nice for her that would make her happy...i know it's not your job but what else can ya do.. xoxox

Sometimes i just keep ignoring them until they are too tired of shouting, and sometimes i just leave the house and when i come back everything is clean.
None of these are long term solutions though

ur ma asking you to clean isn't really unreasonable like you're making it out to be. You have to clean a bit, big deal.
