I still live at home with my mother, but I have a decent job. I foot the bill for most things bought in this house (I buy appliances, I buy groceries, I pay her a flat 850 per month for bills, I buy toiletries, etc.) as she doesn't have a job, but she regularly gets pissed off at me for "not cleaning enough." Mind you, I clean up after myself. I take out the trash all the time. And if she asks me to do something, I do it. However:
>She gets angry that she has to ask me.
>She gets angry if I "don't clean up right."
Am I wrong for finding this unreasonable? For reference, I just fixed a pipe issue in the home. That costed about 500 USD. I figure if I can ensure you have running water, you can sweep the floor once a week without complaint.

Feel free to tell me if I'm an entitled asshole but it really boggles my mind, especially her getting angry when she has to ask. Why not ask? We obviously have different metrics for filth, because it looks fine to me.

She's unappreciative for sure, but I wouldn't expect anything from her either. If she doesn't see your contributions now, and is demanding more than what you're giving, I'd start making moves to leave even if it's more expensive. Let her see how much you do by its absence. I'd say have some real communication with her where you lay out your efforts and thoughs for her and try to come to an understanding, but she doesn't sound like the kind of person to listen like that.

Did you try explaining this to her?

I would at least give it a shot at explaining to her everything you do, like a real serious sit-down, not some quip back. Women, especially boomer women, generally just don't like quips even if you're completely right.
If she listens and even tries to change, good. My own mom eventually put in the effort and it's almost a little funny hearing her shut herself up before she goes on blabbing about one small thing I missed. If she doesn't listen, you gotta get the fuck outta there.

Her house, her rules. If you don't like it, move out. Otherwise, do what are tells you.
