Immature Parents

I love my parents, but sometimes I CANNOT TAKE HOW IMMATURE THEY ARE. My mom acts like I need to be at her beck and call and that whenever I don't answer my phone for a few hours, something is "wrong." It infuriates me that what's "wrong" is just the fact I can't help her immediately with whatever she needs help on. I had an exam today that I told her about on Sunday and she proceeded to call me TWICE during the exam then send the usual texts of "why won't you answer your phone?? what is going on??" MY LIFE. THAT'S WHAT IS GOING ON. I HAVE STUFF TO DO. On top of that, she is so clearly either envious or jealous of my life, as I got to grow up in the US and have material needs met that she didn't when she was young. She loves to undermine my stress, always asking me, "so what exactly do YOU have to stress about?" LIKE EXCUSE ME?? YOU. I HAVE YOU AS A FAILURE OF A SELFISH MOM TO STRESS ABOUT. Then my dad, I have a 1000% better relationship with him, but even he has such immature tendencies I can't fucking deal with. First, when he gets overwhelmed, he loves to just spew out a whole bunch of "no"'s no matter what you're saying, even if what you're saying is correct and he is about to cut you off with "no"'s before proceeding to SAY EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST SAID BEFORE HE CUTS YOU OFF. It is so ANNOYING AND INFURIATING. Like how about you just learn how to listen??? Maybe sometimes YOU'RE the stupid one, have you ever thought about that??? Also, he gets so snappy when he's in a rush or anxious or overwhelmed, like you are a fucking baby boomer, you are considered elderly and you still haven't learned how to MANAGE YOUR STRESS???? It's so ridiculous. Then they say "sorry" when I get upset and woohoo, I get to feel the post-guilt for feeling this way. I just feel so suffocated by this cycle of emotions they put me through over and over and over and over again.
