My mom is?

Hello im a 17 year old male and my mom is still treating me like im 5 years old and I just dont understand. I mean ill get grounded for sleeping 1 minute to late or not looking at her llike she is an angel. I suggested that we go to counsaling and she...

oretty much laughed at the matter. All I want is her to treat me my age. I have a job I have excellent grades in school and she just will not ease up. I really don't think she is a bad mom but she has a lot of problems when comes to dealing with her kids mistakes she over reacts and donst listen. I mean what else dose a parent want in a a kid to let them be with there friends and not get grounded at age 17 can someone please help me

she wants what's best for u. you should look at her like an angel, she raised you and had u. If you treat her with respect, she'll do the same.

you know you love my adivce,

don't worry work hard so you can be on your own and explain to her you don't like the way she treats you show her bye talking to her about important disscutions that show your mature

tell her your upset about it.
try to meet her in the middle.
try to understand where she's coming from,
and try to explain your feelings.

are you an only child?

Well maybe she treats you like that because she is afraid of losing you, you are a only child I think.haha and she just doesn't want to let you go.just try and talk to her and tell her how it is just let her know that you are a responsible young adult and you need your space b.c sometimes parents don't know that the more they try and cling to us the more it pushes us away!!! But you deff. need to talk to her b.c if you don't then its just going to keep getting worse. hope this helped (:

sit her down and talk to her. it's very hard for parents to accept that their kids are growing up...you're her baby LOL. just say hey mom, we need to talk don't let her tell you NO and if she laughs, tell her to stop and that it's important to you! tell her exactly how you feel.

I understand what's going on. Your mom is probably afraid to loose you to the streets or friends. You mention that she has a problem listen. I would suggest that you write her a letter or send her an email. Make sure your as polite as you can be. In your letter just say to her that you love her and that you know she's doing the best that she can and so on. Please don't shut her out of your life. A letter would probably be the best thing. Try it and than tell me what happened. I'll be waiting for your response.

I honestly have no idea what to do about this.
One of my exes parents were really really over protective.
Had to be home by like 6pm, no staying up late, always gets her to study etc.

I think they just really want their son/daughter to be the best they can be and to avoid whatever mistakes they made in life.
