Why does my mom treat me like im 6?

Hmmm. Sounds like your mom is totally overprotective. Even paranoid about that someone could steal or hurt you. A kind of irrational anxiety. And it doesn’t sound normal to me…

I guess that there is something behind it. You should find out why she does that. Maybe you can ask your dad to talk to her about it. Or ask your grandparents. If your grandma has also very protective of your mom, then maybe she is just imitating the sort of behavior that she learned to be normal when she was a kid. But if that wasn’t the way she grew up, ( just guessing) then maybe something bad, something traumatic has happened to your mom some time in her past. Maybe she has witnessed something, or maybe she was the victim of a crime that she never talks about. And she wants to make sure nothing like it happens to you for some reason. If you find out that this is the case, you should try to make her talk to you about it. About her fears and about how she feels when she can’t protect you. Then you should decide whether you ask your dad to talk her into family therapy or whether you can sort it out among yourselves.

For a start, just try to find out what’s up with her. Be inquisitive. Be curious. Maybe you find out something that helps you understand her. If you don’t find out anything, take a deem breath and think of something else.

Well to me it sounds like your mom is just a little bit over protective of you. You should be grateful she cares even if it is over the top, though, because so many parents out there don’t care at all. At the same time, I can imagine how you must feel… you could just try to reason with her. Let her know how being treated like a 6 year old is affecting you & what not. Hang in theree, I’m sure she has good intentions. :)

Because she loves you and doesn’t want you leave her and forget her. I know how she feels, my sister is growing up and getting married soon… I can’t believe she is leaving. I am going to miss her so much :( I’m sure thats how your mom feels about you.

my moms same wayy hun

well my grandmother, hmm idk how to put this.. she really never cared for my mom or her other children.. my mom was in foster care since she was 12 my grandmother never cared for her maybe thats why she is so like this bcuz she doesnt wanna be like my grandmother or her mom. but thank you for commenting.

i agree i forget it sometimes because im 14 and so ya but its the truth

She is not going to move with you when you go to college. She is not going to live next door when you become an adult. She will suck it up and deal with it. I know it is hard right now, but I promise your mother will not follow you around for the rest of your life. If she does, she’s got issues and you can get a therapist and have an intervention. My mother said the same thing when I was younger. I graduated at 16, and I moved to college early. She didn’t come with me. She had to stay with my dad and continue her life. Your mother will do the same. And I’m almost 25. I have been on my own for a long time. She still reminds me to feed the cat I’ve had for 4 years and who has never missed a meal. Mothers are annoying and aggravating and fathers tend to be a lot more laid back. It will end. Otherwise you can always get a restraining order ;) Oh and in the meanwhile, this is how I deal with my mother. I take a deep breath, I remind myself that this is her way of showing that she cares, I remind myself that how my mother treats me is not indicative of my age (unless I act like I’m 6, her treating me like I’m 6 does not make it so) and I try to let it go.

they dont want you to grow up they want you to stay a little girl. :) but thats a good thing that means they love you alot.

Because of what happened to your mom as a child she’s doing her best not to repeat what happened Cus she knows first hand how it felt. Maybe talk to her, ask for a little freedom. I’m 17 in 2 months and my mom still treets me like a little kid but at the same time doesn’t .. All of my friends think it’s Cus I was her first kid and shes never had to let go of anything like that before. I bet it’s a world wide motherly thing, I talked to my mam and said it was ridiculus that I wasn’t trusted to go and do things my friends were doing. And it did alot of good. Good luck !!
