Neglected

Hi I am 17 years old and I have been struggling to have a relationship with my parents more so with my mother. For a couple of years now my mother will come home at 7:30 to 8:00 oclock from work and won't give me as much as a greeting let alone a hug. I am an high honor roll student and my mom should be proud of it. However sometimes she'd like my to put my house hold chores first. It is my junior year and I am drowning in homework. I feel as though my mom cares more about a clean house than me keeping up my grading. I try to have a relationship with her but it seems impossible and at times I want to give up. If feel as though the roles have switched and I am the parent longing to hold onto my daughter. I have tried to talk to my parents about this but they turn it on me and i feel worst than I did at first. I feel alone and helpless in my own home.

Please can I have some advise.
