The best advice I can give you is the same that I just gave to my little brother who is 20 also, and going through the same thing with our mother. You have to be indepentdent and responsible. If that means getting up for work and busting your tail so you can earn a living and be out on your own then so be it. Chances are your mother will never stop babying you especially if you are the youngest. Perhaps if you sit down and write her a letter, telling her how you feel (Using only nonblaming or nonacussive words ), you will feel it frees your mind and you get your point across without losing your train of thought or hurting her feelings. Be gentle. Tell her you can understand her concern, but you need to learn on your own, and that includes making mistakes too. Ask her why? Is she maybe scared she will lose you? Make memories now and keep your bind tight. If you try to pull away she is more likely to hang on even tighter. It will take time for both of you. I have only been a mom now for 5 months. I can NOW only understand why my mom babied all 4 of us kids the way she did. You only want to your child to be happy. Some day you will understand when you have a child of your own. It took 30 yrs for me but I finally got it. Good Luck !

Well, keep in mind she loves you and still just wants to take care of you and watch out for you. You may not know it, but she may be having a hard time coming to grips with the reality that you are growing up. Just tell her that you love her a lot but that you want to have a little more independence. The next weekend, ask her if she wants to go out to lunch with you. That way she knows that you still want her to be a part of your life and she isn't doing all the arranging to spend time with you. It will make her feel great, and you will have more freedom.

two things could be occuring. one is your goofing off alot living at home and to your mom, she may feel like your not acting like an adult if pouting or acting up during any disagreements. the second is she knows your at the age or past it to leave the nest and she's not ready to cope with its time for you to be on your oen, whether going to school, having a job, a car and a apartment. if you feel she is treating you like a child, be an adult and sit down with her and talk to her. be honest about how you feel and why. she will respect you more.

You can have a lot of fun with this!
One thing you can do is overdo it--ask her so many questions, lean on her so much that she starts encouraging you to think and act for yourself.
Another way to handle it is to show high levels of maturity, decorum, responsibility, and soberness.
If you do both at the same time, it will drive her batty! Have fun!!!

Don't. Be thankful that you have a mom who cares. Bite your lip and remember time hurries past and your parents will not be around forever. There will come a day when you long to be babied by her.............when she is gone. Enjoy it while you can.

just tell her that you're not a child and tell her that you're not trying to be disrespectful but you're not a child and that you would appreciate it if she would allow you the space and opportunity to make your share of mistakes and life decisions. let her know that you appreciate her and that you love her and that you're not trying to hurt her feelings. tell her what you want and what you expect and ask her to give it a try of giving you your space to grow into an adult.

Move out of your parents house and start living like an adult.

there is no way of telling her but just come right out and tell her you need your space and your not a child

if you can produce a baby and let your mom take care of so her attention may divert to your baby from you
