Appart from being a blessing.. it can be SOOOOOOOO hard to live with.. if you're old enough.. get your own place.
(My parents are not over protective but my Aunt is.. I see my cousins suffer... which is sad)

Over protective? Mothers are very preseptive to issues with their children. Obviously something has sparked this question and you should tell a little more about how she is seeming to be overprotective. As a mother I can assure you we only want whats in YOUR best interest till your old enough to take the reins. She loves you more than you really know all mothers are like that. I hope you find common ground so your relationship does not suffer. Best of luck

I would be really happy and comprehensive. My mother is never there for me...all she thinks about is gym and spa. She doesn't even know my favourite colour. A mom is overprotective because she wants you to know thatt you are part of hher life and if you want to resolve the problem, give her a hug and then tell her waht you feel and tell her that you love her but you need your space but always be delicate and don't make her feel left out. Believe me. It's better to have an overprotective mother than having a never present mother. ;)

You need to build her trust. She is overprotective because she see's all the harmful things that can affect you. Keep in constant contact with her, call her and let her know what you are doing, who you are with and what your plans are. Don't give her any reason to worry. Don't drink, don't smoke, just don't put yourself in a position where something bad will happen to you. Get into sports and keep your grades up. You need to set a comfort zone for your mother... I know it is hard, it is hard for me, but I have had too many bad experiences with my teens. I can't even let them out of the house anymore!

Tell her she is smothering you. If you are not free to make your own choices how will learn from life's lessons. If she is protecting you too much how will you adjust once you move out, or away.
Find a video or DVD that addresses this theme. Look at together and talk about it afterwords. I have children. Its natural to want to protect them. But eventually everyone has to be able to take care of themselves. Thats why they cut the umbilical cord when you were born. Take care! Find a DVD! Good luck!

well, respect her but tell her when you feel like she isn't trusting you to make the right decisions. If you're over 18, get your own place and make sure you still keep her in your life. and feel blessed that she loves you & is around to care about you!!

If you are an only child and she is like that get use to it. You are her child and she wants to protect you from all harm. Thats what mothers do.

tell her to back off a little... hope that she respects you enough to listen to you...
tell her that life is a learning experience and how you supposed to learn without the chance to make mistakes...
to be fair, she is your mother and that is their role - to protect you from hurt, but still, she needs to cut the umbilical cord and hope that you look to her in times of trouble... she loves you... try to bear that in mind...

Make her pay for self defence lessons... the better you can fight the less protection you need and the better your negotiating power
