Today mom told me to clean the house. I'm proud of myself. Instead of complaining and yelling, I just cleaned the house. As simple as that. When I was done, I asked her if she needed help with something else. She stared at me in disbelief and said 'no'. I smiled and walked back to my room. It's amazing how things get so much easier  if I just simply do what I have to do.
