Ignore them, she probably doesn't mean them, do stuff around the house to get nice things said to you

Think about how she could be having problems on her own time. She isn't saying those things for no reason. I know when my mom says harsh things to me that somethings up with her and I try to help her feel better about them.

Yes, Trust me, I've had my fair share of this, No parent is perfect, she's probably really stressed out, she obviously doesn't mean what shes saying, or maybe shes just so frustrated that's all that comes out
