I don't know what I want out of this thread. Maybe I need help controlling anger over petty things.
Maybe you hate being at the mercy of your parents, in the fact that you are temporarily living with them, coz if you wasnt then they could not interrupt you. Do you restrain yourself cos they are allowing you to temporarily live there?

If you werent living with them and they called for a favour would you be this bothered?

You will probably feel better if
1. You have an exit day
2. The exit day is near

but if you dont, maybe you unconsciously feel trapped like a young child again
