I am 19 years old already and I do a lot of things in college without asking permission from my mother. Our university is far from home, so literally, I do not ask permission 
. But whenever I am here in our house, my mother would really remind me not to stay so late in front of the computer. Its like I'm still being treated as a person who cannot be depended on, and of course, I feel like I'm still a child that needs so much attention.
Is your mom like this?

Well, actually almost every mother are like this.
You said you study far away from your home, right?
This means your mom can't see you so often.
When you are at home (That must be rare...lol..) your mom will want to find chances to interact with you.
This condition is common, don't hate your mom! She is always the best!! :)

Yeah, I do have a great mom. And yes, I study from afar and rarely goes back in our hometown. Anyway, I am not hating my mom, there just times that it pisses me when she treats me like a child.

Ok, you love your mom that's great.
You can tell your mom your feelings and add "love you mom" at the end. Your mom will be so happy and remember not to treat u like that.
lol...!!

Hi kenshin2143, I definitely understand your position with regards to your sentiments. However, you are compelled to ask permission to your mother/parents in whatever indoor and outdoor activities you may have been participated. Please be reminded that you're still at your parents custody and it is therefore your mere responsibility to inform them on your plans, actions and decisions made in life.
Refrain in thinking you are independent and avoid too much confident to yourself that you can already stand with your own feet without the guidance of your parents because that's absolutely a wrong concept. Obey, respect and abide for any rules being enforced by your parents for you are the only and sole beneficiary of it in the near future.

Thanks for the reminder Gil. There are a lot of times that I am very over confident and independent that I tend to ignore my parents. But you are really right to somehow to control it for we owe too much from our mother.

Hello there kenshin!
I am in my mid 30s, with three kids but tell you, my mom especially my dad still acts the same! When I am in their home, my dad tells us to sleep early so that we could wake up early, and they tell other things that makes me feel that I am still alike a small child. Maybe parents still feel that we are still small, young children. You are not alone in this.
Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas!

Thanks for this response. Yeah, I am indeed not alone in feeling this way for almost any other mum out there behaves this way as well as their children's response to such behavior.

No my mother never cared about anything so I can't say she was the loving, caring type.
If my children are home (the adult ones) I will say things like that too. Especially since this is my house and I don't like them to be whole night in front of my computer, while the rest wants their sleep. Who lives in my house lives by my rules no matter what age that person has.
I also tell my 22 year old daughter (who still lives with me) when not to take the bike if she goes out in the middle of the night but use the car. To take her keys with her etc.. since she would leave everything open and I don't like to sit and wait for her till early in the morning (she seldom uses her cellphone either).
Since you feel you are capable to take care of yourself, and want to be treated like an adult I think you should behave like one as well. Stay living on your own instead of at your mother's home. If you visit her and live on her costs you live by her rules. This is normal since you are a guest and if not you depend on her, if you like it or not. The rest is just how you feel it or what you are willing to feel or make out of it.

Yeah, my mom is like that, too. But I find it cute now maybe because I'm missing her nags. I had my own place at 23 and I was really happy with that decision. But after sometime, I kinda miss both of them. I am here in their house because it'll be Christmas and she doesn't understand why I spent so much time in the internet.

All the mothers in the world are the same,they care about you,they don't want you to get hurt, though you may think they are annoying sometimes.My mother used to be like this when I lived with her,I sometimes really get mad at her nagging and really want to move out.But things are quite different when I got married living with my husband.You gonna miss her naggings.
