Are my living conditions normal?

I need help figuring out whenever my living situation is normal, or if I'm having a harder time than I should.
I'm renting a room from a middle aged woman. I think she's in her 40´s. She is working part-time due to burnout. I moved out from my parents about two months ago, so I'm not really used to this lifestyle. I mean, I'm still learning. And I do a lot of mistakes. I've broken a glass, sometimes I haven't taken out the trash fast enough, sometimes I've left my dirty dishes lying around for too long, and so on. I've made mistakes and she's had to tell me to fix things.
Lately, it seems like she has been harder on me than what is called for. To be more precise, when she's criticizes me, it seems like she is more interested in expressing her frustration than she is in telling me what to do differently. I'm fully aware that I need to grow as a human being, but I'm not sure that I should accept insults and degrading comments.
Some examples:
I'm supposed to purchase cleaning materials every once in a while. The other day she told me I hadn't done that and that I was being a "parasite" for using her materials.
One day, when I had been cooking and hadn't cleaned up in the kitchen afterwards, she had left an incomprehensible note, which was written in so few words and such strange grammar that it was unreadable. It had plenty of exclamation marks and the phrase "Clean up your own shit".
Today when I woke up and was lying in my bed I heard her talking to her son, saying that she was the only one in the household that was "doing her job", and that she had to clean up after me. She was aware that I heard her.
My question is: Is her behavior really acceptable? Should I expect to see the same reactions if I move in with someone else?
