I think it's more family dynamics and how you actually present yourself to your parents. Innocence slowly dies away as you age so whatever crap you're sprouting now will seem trivial and nonsensical when you're let's say... 25 for example.
Young people today tend to think they are smarter than how they actually are and usually the older folks are the ones who can see that clearly.
Plus your parents are probably conservative and Asian? and you're still in school. For all we know, you may have done some stupid stuff back in the day and your mom clearly remembers and won't let it go... so forever (for a while at least) you may got some sort of irresponsible punk kid image. And of course, you're her beloved son. You really can't do enjoy freedom in its purest sense until you are out living on your own but perhaps it will be better when you graduate and start working.

Maybe you also got pretty low tolerance for her bitching? It's best not to explode to her explosions.... I'm 23, finished university and I get to do whatever I want in most cases. But if there's work to do, as long I do it properly, parents have no problems.
