How do I get my Mom to stop worrying so much?

You don’t. Instead of YOU worrying about how to get your mom to stop worrying, concentrate on what you have said you are already doing. Being repsonsible. If you are having sex, protect yourself. Make good choices. Be thankful you have a mother that does worry. She loves you. She isn’t worried that everytime you leave the house you are going to just have sex, there is a list a mile long of what she is worried about. If you are going to be in an accident, if you are going to be hurt, if you are going to make it home safely, if you are going to get lost, have you eaten, are you riding with someone who is drunk, are you drinking, and the list goes on. When you come in the door from being out and you are safe, she is relieved. She may not show you this by snatching you up in a bear hug, it may come out as anger because she doesn’t know any other way to teach you things you will need in life. You guys may not have had the best relationship but you can change that. Look at things in a different light. When your mother is on you about things and you are getting frustrated, try to calm down and think she is trying to show how much she cares. Try to hug her and tell her “thank you”. Or maybe you can say to her, “You have done a good job, Mom.” Little things to let her know you appreciate her and although you get very frustrated at time, some things she has taught you along the way have stuck. Sometimes the little things is all it will take. Keep doing things like this and maybe soon she will follow suit. She may already know you are very responsible, but she will never stop worrying about you.
