My mom is overprotective?
Hmmm yeah it sounds like she's pretty overprotective. How old are you? I'm guessing you're in your teens. My mom was really overprotective too. It can really suck. It sometimes felt like she was living my life for me, making all my decisions. In my opinion, the sleepover thing is because she's afraid something might happen to you. Maybe she feels uneasy because she doesn't know your friend or your friend's mom. Having an overprotective mom can be so very tough. I think the best way you can approach this is to sit down with her and have a talk. Be reasonable and mature and talk about a few of these things that are most important to you. Don't bring everything up. She'll be more likely to compromise if you only put a few things on the table (maybe sleeping over, music on your Ipod, and clothes?). Don't raise your voice even if she starts to piss you off. Show her that you're not a little girl anymore and you deserve to have some of these privileges. And if worse comes to worse, follow her rules and maintain a positive relationship with her. When you move out, you can do anything you want. Sometimes I worry about people with overprotective parents, because they sometimes rebel and start doing drugs or other reckless behavior. After being sheltered for so long, some people go all out. Just don't do that. You'll get through it girly. I hope you can figure it out! =]
My mom is overprotective. What should I do?
I'm 20 years old, I feel like my mom still overprotects me. This morning I was getting my pants and she says "These pants are still big and tight" I still did my own thing and said it's fine I'm 20 you don't have to baby me and said I'm stubborn. And than I saw her point but angry that she still baby's me and embarrassed. Also I brush my teeth and says it's not clean enough and I have to go back. I love my mom but she can be nosy. I'm an adult but at the same time I still listen to her and feel mad at myself but she says I'm looking out for you to have a clean teeth and dress nicely. Am I doing something wrong? I yell at her and I feel regret but I want to be without her being too overprotective.
I’m 17 and my mom is really overprotective about social media, phones, and stuff. I don’t really know how I feel about this. I love my mom a lot but it’s just really irritating. What should I do?
I’m 13.. My mom is too.. Social media is basically my life- All my friends have it.. I have (had) an iphone6+ so I mean ya know decent quality.. I really liked taking pictures and making musicallys, face timing and all that.. in the past I got in some trouble and I guess my mom lost some trust bc I did some things on my phone, but tbh it wasnt…. - like it didn’t make sense to take my phone it was just little things.. I think all she thought is that I just talked to family members.. no.. I don’t.. or Didn’t.. I have a life!-I have friends!-I talk to people outside of school! I currently have my phone taken rn over some bs.. and using my old samsung phone and my laptop to write this.. (im at another family members house right now) but if I think its bad right now its just going to get worse.. I don’t know if I should rebel or go with it… My mom also isn’t the easiest person to talk to.. my grandma and aunt don’t check my stuff- and I ain’t even doing anything bad.. - hell!- i’d let my aunt follow me on insta if it wasn’t for my mom. I got nothing to hide! my mom just goes over the top.. so yea I totally understand where your coming from.. and ik it sucks.. and when I get older driving and all that its gonna get worse.. another reason im not into boys.. haha - I didn’t wanna live my life in a fucking box so I told myself I liked girls a year ago..- and I kept pushing myself into that idea.. - guess what? - boys don’t faze me.. and now my mom found out about my ex gf and she told me no boys.. man.. LMAO make up ya mind since you the wonderful parent ya say you are! anyway.. sorry (thinking about it even makes me mad) all I can say is.. you are 17 like one year away from 18 (hell- I wish I was that old) So just listen you only have a year and then your out.. the reason I say that is because you need money and support still you can’t just move out with nothing so fake a good a attitude about the situwation and cuss the bitch out under your breath.. and the phone situwation.. just get a job and pay your phone bill.. and if it continues then when your 18 and your paying for your phone and she still thinks she has the right to do that just say no and take ya phone and go to a buddys house or something.. I wish you luck…
My mum is so overprotective?
Also, she doesn't have facebook, but has friends that do, and she insists on me befriending them on there. She then gets them to spy on my statuses and see what I'm doing. I can't post any statuses/pictures and even be tagged in pictures on facebook without her friends commenting or seeing it and telling her!
I'm 18, is my mother too overprotective?
I am 18 years old, legally an adult. I live in my mother's house with a younger brother and sister. Tonight I was having a sleepover with two of my best girl friends. I wanted to surprise them at midnight and drive them over to Walmart for a scavenger hunt. My mother said no. And when I tried to ask for a reason why, she got angry and ignored me. I got a bit upset that I wasn't allowed to do that and she wouldn't even talk about it with me. Later, around 9pm, the girls came up with a fun idea to go to the park near my house and watch the stars and swing like we used to when we were younger. My mother said no, it was too late and "teenagers don't go to the park at night to hang out." At this point, my friends were getting annoyed (as was I) that all we were really able to do was sit and watch TV. We wanted to get out and have an innocent adventure. They kept asking me why my mom was such a party pooper. It made very sad and angry at the same time. I tried to hold back tears, knowing very well that their parents would let us go out and do all of those things and more. I could tell they weren't having a very good time. My mother called me over and told us he was getting tired and we needed to go to bed soon so she could to bed. I don't understand that... Why do we also have to go to bed? At this point I was fuming and knew my night had been ruined to a point of no return. I told her the girls were actually just going to call it a night and go home after we finished watching our show. She made me cut the show short and have them go home right then because she was tired and didn't want to have to stay awake another hour to wait for the show to end. I asked why she had to stay up for that and he response was "it's weird to be asleep when guests leave." My question is how...?!? I was about to burst in to tears as I had to muster up the courage to tell my friends they had to go immediately. It was so embarrassing. Is my mom too strict considering I'm 18? How do I fix this?!
I am 18 and my mom is STILL over protective?
So my mom has always been way too over protective. I am now 18 and graduated from high school and I am in beauty school. Today while I was at work I got a text from at&t family map telling me my phone is now being tracked... My mom pays for my phone. My mom never lets me stay out late and come home so I always just say I am staying the night with a friend and go out and do stuff with my friends. Now I cant even do that because she will be tracking me! I was hoping my mom would lighten up now that I am graduated but she really hasnt... obviously! And I really cant handle it anymore. She is so in my business that she will go look at my friends facebooks from class and be like "I saw that girl you went to the mall with on fb. She looks like she party's a lot..." Like trying to hint that she doesn't want me hanging out with her. Sometimes I will say something like, I am going to hang out with a friend for a bit at 8pm and she will be like Thats getting late... That isnt even late!!! I cant handle her treating me like this anymore. I go to school tues-sat 8 am-4pm and I really dont have enough time to work enough to be able to afford to move out (without being exhausted.) I am going to get my own phone plan soon so she cant track my phone but I feel like she will just put a tracker on my car! I need help... Advice please.
My mom is overprotective. I can't really go out. Will a girl accept this?
A girl will understand, all you have to do is just speak with your mother and tell her that you have this chick in mind and you were wondering if you could go out with her. And to your Mom feel good, tell her you’ll be home by 11 or something and if your out just let her know where you are or where your going, just in case something happens.Hope this helps!!
I'm 18 and my mom is over protective?
Alright so I'm 18 and a freshman in college and I was at my boyfriends house just watching a movie when we were done with our classes and his parents weren't home. Well my dad is selling the parents house insurance and was there to take pictures with my mom and they noticed my car and my mom called me up freaking out that I was obviously alone with my boyfriend. And by the way we have been dating for almost 15 months now. Okay so I was like wtf and I stayed and finished the movie and went home and my mom was like 'you know that was a hint to come home' and I said sorry I was finishing the movie I started. and she was going on how we both have finals next week and hinting at how she is afraid I'm going to have sex or even get raped by my boyfriend! I'm not a virgin and she doesn't know that but I'm not a whore I've been dating him and I care about him and she is just like i know where you stand on certain things but I don't know if he knows. why is my mom acting like this?! she rarely does but she freaks out for no reason when I have 3 older brothers-2 live at home the youngest is 21 and he does horrible things and she doesn't give two sh*ts about that.
Why is my mum so overprotective?
“Overprotective parents generally want to protect their children from harm, from hurt and pain, from unhappiness, bad experiences and rejection, from hurt feelings, failure and disappointments.”Of course, it is good to know that your mother wants to protect you, but the consequences can be bad.“Overprotective parents often prevent their children from trying new activities such as dicovering the joy of climbing and safe risk taking at adventurous play grounds. Many sporting activities are discouraged, along with social activities which would include opportunites for gaining social competence. “Overprotective Parents - Is This Your Parenting Style?
