my mother always worries about me!

this is part and parcel of life. my youngest sister who is 18 feels that way too. unfortunately for her, she's too stubborn. she understands that mom means what's right for her but then, her friends are more important to her. i agree that sometimes mothers tend to be overbearing and overprotective. this is also natural. in your case, i would suggest like others that you tell her, nicely though. both of you could compromise and come to an understanding. in the years to come, if my son felt your way too, i don't know about other moms but i would understand if he told me how he felt. oh of course for a while i might be heartbroken. grins but i would understand. it would hurt the mother of course. but you can try and pacify her at the same time by compromising. of course promise what you can do and don't do promises that you can't keep. if she asks of something tht you think you're unable to do, then let her know that you can't guarantee it but you'll try. i hope this helps. it's similar to what others have said but it's just my opinion that's all.

We cannot blame parents for worrying about us especially if they are informed about our whereabouts. I guess you'd better worry if they don't give a damn where you are and what happened to you. Your mother's reaction is but normal coz I would also get angry if my child would do that. I think I deserve the courtesy to be informed where you and what time we expect you be home. But then again, you are already 20 and of legal age but if you are still going home to your mom,then be polite enough to tell her where you are.

You are 20 years old and living at home. You will have to deal with some of that because you are still living at mom's house. However, it is time that your mother give you some slack on the rules. You are an adult now, in college and so on. I would sit down and talk to her and tell her how you feel and how she is making you feel, but please do it respectfully and calmly! For her to treat you as an adult you need to show her that you can act as one as well!

believe me, it's better to mull over your parents', esp your mom, worrying about you, than to wonder they dont seem to care about you as much... you could probably ask your mom to worry less about you, and show her that you can be responsible for your life... all you have to do is be straight with your mom because the more that you delay talking to her, all the more reason she might think you're not ready for the world...

Are you living at home still? I remember when I had to stay at home with my mom for a bit. I was about 19 then. She had rules in her house that no one stayed out after 10 cause she didn't want to be waken up. All I can say is just sit her down and explain to her as calm as possible and tell her that you are not a child anymore you are old enough to make your own decisions. Hope it helps. let us know how it goes.
