But instead of apologizing and talking it out, she gets angry cause she figures she works hard and has all these responsibilities to keep you alive and the house a float etc etc.

And when you give her the 'look' she feels guilty. Shes likely tired and frustrated about things that don't have to do with you. Okay as a parent myself (and when I was a kid this aggravated me too!) I have a more detailed answer. However I do work alongside attending college so it's not like I just lie around doing nothing. I think it is also important to mention that I'm not young, I'm a young adult living at home until I'm able to move to university. I would love to know why parents do this, because it is something that really upsets me and I'd just love to know why they feel better being mad at their children than apologising or even just asking why they're upset and talking it out. It's not so much if I get upset about other things happening, but if she personally upsets me she will get mad at me for 'being dramatic' or 'giving her a look' or criticise my mood and tell me to 'stop being so miserable'. My parents are both absolutely lovely people, and I'm so grateful for them and love them to pieces, however one thing I have noticed is my mother gets annoyed at me if I get upset because of something she said to me. Why do parents get mad at their children for being upset? Things like this have happened to me a LOT growing up, and I just wanted to ask: Last night, my mother got mad at me because I was upset by her saying my interests were 'all just nothing', and told me I 'gave her a look' when I looked away because my eyes had welled up.
