I just had a brief argument with my mother in which even my brother sided with me, but my mother still didn't budge because she loves using "You are the child therefore I'm right" logic.
*Me in the car, mom driving us home from school, I have my ear buds in*
Mom: [Iron]?
*I already know what she's going to ask, I pretend not to hear*
Mom: [Iron]!
IronTomato: *irritated* What?
Mom: Do you have homework?
IronTomato: No! And you-
*brother interrupts, Mom and him have an unrelated mini-conversation while I patiently refrain from shouting "SHUT THE FUCK UP WHILE I'M TALKING"*
IronTomato: I was about to say that you don't need to keep saying that and nothing else when I get home from school, because if I have homework then I'll do it.
Mom: I know that, but you don't need to start getting pissed off and yell at me just because I tried to talk to you!
IronTomato: *I lose my temper, start to raise my voice* Holy crap, I'm not angry because you tried to talk to me, I'm angry because you're asking me the same question every day like I'm not going to do my homework if you don't constantly ask me about it instead of saying hello!
Brother: Yeah, mom, he-
I can't remember what was said after that point because I was too angry to pay attention, but it was basically just my brother repeating what I had said and then my mother responding in the same way before berating us for telling her how to do her job.
It would be awfully nice if there was someone in this family besides me and my father who understood that if you manage to make someone mad enough to start yelling at you then you should probably consider why they are mad before telling yourself that it's all their fault and ignoring them.
My mother is an asshole, and me and my brother were both destined to become assholes, which is exactly what happened. Perfect.
On the other hand, I now understand that it's still possible to want to kill yourself no matter how much you think you'll never want to. You learn something new every day, huh?
