My Mom is so overprotected..HELP!

that sucks. the only way to fix your problem is to confront it.

confront it.

talk to your mom about how you feel.

tell her there is nothing wrong with bieng protective, but theres a line and it becomes over protective.

you guys can talk and agree on some terms.

like that she can call you once and only once when you get to her house, and that you will call her before this certain hour to let her know your coming home soon.

that she only needs the numbers necessary to contact your friends house and parent responsible. and that asking for email and such is embarassing. who checks their email that fast to make sure your ok???

my parents did the same, but I made it clear how I felt and they understood. theres nothing wrong with asking for numbers and an address, when im a parent ima do the same, I just want to make sure my baby is allright? you understand?

like the girl said above, let her know that you feel smothered and trapped. and you want to have some freedom atleast. freedom to go out with friends without having a parent babying you around.

why would you want to go out if your gonna have mommy holding your hand right?? tell her that.

im sure if you say it right, with the right tone, and right attitude, you will get your point across.

Girl dont worry I had the same prob. email thats crazy. wooow my mom just took the number and mabye called once or most of the time not at all. what you have to do is talk to her gain her trust thats what I did took her a while but yea its worth it. If she trusts you she wont be so overprotected. She will lay off.

ha mine was worse! I wasn’t even allowed to go to my friends houses.. they could only come to mine and I had to have my door to my bedroom open at all times… it didnt end till I moved out at 18.. the only thing I can tell you is to tell her that being so overprotective often leads to kids rebelling even more and if she says that she trusts you than she needs to act like it.. tell her that she has raised you right and that you are getting to the age that regardless of if she acts protective or not you are still going to make your own decisions..

Maybe you should talk to her about it. Try to tell her that if she doesn’t want you to feel smothered, she needs to back off a little.

So for me! why don’t you say, Mom, I need a brake, this over protection device on me is just anoying, it’s not hellping me at all! Trust me, I may be 10, but I now what you need.

my mum is exactly the same I feel your pain and guess what, im 18! I dont know when they back off but try and get on her good side e.g if she lets you out come home ealier then the time agreed that way she’ll think wow look shes responsible etc. do small things that make you look better in your mums eyes and hopefully you’ll gain her full trust and she wont be on your back 24/7

Wow and I thought my mom was over protective
