samlife Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 My whole life she has been over protecting! and my Dad has been the chill one. When i say overprotecting i mean it, my whole life we had to ask permisioin to go anywhere, and i mean anywhere, the backyard, to get the mail, downstairs, anywhere! It got to the point where we all stopped asking because we knew we were going to be told no! My friends at school would always tell me to just ask but i wouldn't because i was 100% sure it was a no Until my junior year, i had never been over to a friends house, she would never let them come to our house either, she wont let my brothers and I go out with each other! even my whole year of being 18 when i thought finally i'm gonna get to do whatever i can, it didn't change, i finally had to just really rebel, and tell her look mom i'm an adult and I don't need your permission for anything, i really felt bad, and she really was mad about it, and insisted that i was to ask permission for everything, but I have been doing things i want now, I still have to tell her, but now even if she says no i do it, but she still yells if i'm not home by 6 O'clock!! I've had enough i can't start my life with my mom still doing this, anything would help Link to post Share on other sites

Ariadne Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Well, You put up with it for so long, a little more, a little less is not going to make a difference. Eventually you'll figure out what to do as you get older. It'll be ok.. Link to post Share on other sites
Mahatma Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I would suggest getting a job. My girlfriend's parents are really clingy to her also, but not to your degree. You will be going off to college soon. My girlfriend's parents forced her to go to a community college for her first year, so hopefully your parents wont do that. Just keep trying to make space between you and your mother. Link to post Share on other sites
