» 027; so light 'em up

» 006; this has gotta stop now, somehow
Apr. 10th, 2012 12:48 pmMy mom is a giant, overbearing control freak.
I know she wonders what's up with her kid sometimes. Why I'm usually very apathetic about the things she says or does. This is basically the reason why.
I'm not sure if she realizes that I'm freaking 23 years old. I may still be living under the same roof as my parents and I am willing to abide with most if not all of their rules but when it gets to the point that she treats me like a 12 year old then I draw the line.
I don't have to tell her every single thing I do in my life. I don't need to be watched over. I don't need to update her 24/7. If I want to tell her about it then I will but if she's going to ask stuff like "Tell me about every company, you're applying to for your OJT," then I can't help but thinks she's pushing it way too much. She's just making it much harder for both of us.
Here's the thing, not to toot my own horn but I think I'm a good kid. I don't smoke or drink, I don't party until the early hours of the morning, I don't go around making a fool of myself and go covering it up so people won't find out about it. Hell, I'm pretty close to my mom and I tell her almost everything but she's really gotta learn to give me some space. I appreciate the concern but sometimes I just have to do my own thing without her hovering over my shoulder. Boundaries. That's all I'm really asking from her. It's not much, right?
Yet somehow, no matter how many times I repeat myself to her, nothing ever gets done. I just have to go through the same cycle over and over again. I don't know how much I can take anymore.
