I have been a teenager, had a teenager and work with teenagers. Allow me to clue you in; the best way to get your mum off your back is to do whatever she tells you. That means when she ask you to clean your room; clean your room. When she ask you to take out the trash...take out the trash, etc. So! if you want the game and don't wish to hear her nagging about homework...do the homework. Works every time. Funny, works with wives too
