AITA for telling my mom that I didn’t want to be reminded of something 17 times and essentially starting an argument?

I (20F) just had an argument with my mom and she just stormed out of the house.

Some background information: I just got my driver’s license. So my mom has been letting me drive the car, and just recently let me drive the car by myself. I’ve definitely still got some things to learn and get used to.

A few days ago, coming home from work, I pulled up and put the car in park before coming to a complete stop. She told me that I’m not supposed to do that and I’m to come to a complete stop and then put the car in park. I took note of that and have never done it again but she keeps telling me that and yesterday she sent me a 15 minute video. I didn’t notice she sent me the video until today, when I was checking all of my notifications.

Today, I just simply said I got it, I don’t need to be told 17 times, and I don’t need a video. You’ve seen me drive since then and you’ve seen me not do that again. I got it. She starts texting me paragraphs, getting mad about that. She started bringing other things into it, and was going on and on about she’s tired of this and that. I told her to take a nap. Next thing you know, she’s bursting into my room, mad. And mind you, my mom does this thing where she starts talking over you so I continued talking to finish my point first. She asked me to stop talking, I said no, and slams my door and storms out the house.

I feel bad because it’s Mother’s Day but at the same time, my mom will railroad you and start an argument about any little thing. I’ve just started to stick up for myself. I feel I have a right to say something back or to make a comment on something without fear of her getting defensive or getting mad. But I most definitely wasn’t trying to illicit that type of reaction.

AITA for “starting” this argument and on Mother’s Day, at that?
