Hi, I am pretty college student. I have never been drunk, slept over at a friend's place, done pot, party or any of that stuff -no college wild life for me.
Customarily, I call my mom every 24 hours to see how she is doing and let her know how I am doing -although she is a little bit skeptic about my decision. For some reason, this morning my roomate woke me up saying that my mom called. As I picked the phone, she told me that she called the police and was crying out loud saying that I am irresponsible because the last time I called was at 3 pm (she called me at 12 pm next day). Now, she knows I am on finals and that I was planning on studying. This is the 10th time this happens, but this time she called the police! So now my question is. Should I, (1) change and call her even more often or (2) she is just going overboard with her worries? Choose (1) or (2), comments are appreciated!

She is having a hard time letting go. You need to ween the phone calls. I do not think I could call someone every 24 hours consistently. I would get busy and forget. This is what she is use to and thinks something is wrong right off the bat. Could you set up alternative checks to ween her from the phone calls? Does she use email? Could you send her an email at a time you know she would be asleep or at church? I would try to explain to her that you have a lot going on and that calling every 24 hours is a hard thing to do but you want her to know everything is OK. Send her emails and call every other day. On a Monday, at then end of the call say Now remember I will be calling on Wed at 4:00. You will be there won't you? Let her think you are looking forward to it and do not want to miss her. Keep the emails going and at different times of the day. Then after she is comfortable with this put three days between the calls until you are at once a week at a set time. Then start to ween the emails as well. Good luck!

Your mom don't have saved that woman devoid of legally adopting her. She would have certainly carried out that. Now she has issues because of the fact she would not even have custody. there is not any "conflict" to be fought right here. The courts will see it like this: the baby is being ignored (no scientific guard upload, in all risk would not see a physician or a dentist the two, and no discipline) and she or he's living with a woman who isn't even her mum or dad. easy and easy, i'm exceptionally beneficial they'll take her away. i'm sorry I had to tell you. Your sister has obtrusive issues. they're in all risk a effect of a few form of drugs that her start mom took on a similar time as pregnant (the two for AIDS or unlawful drugs, yet i don't comprehend the placement together with her). She is only too some distance long previous-- she would desire to have been disciplined as a sprint tiny baby. She has some substantial hindrances to beat earlier she will combine into society and overall performance many times. She desires a different authority determine in her existence, person who won't supply in to her infantile demands. This woman is attempting to be certain what she will escape with. i comprehend you like your mom, and she or he sounds like she ability nicely, yet i'm heavily suggesting that she take a parenting classification... or call great Nanny. So now your mom is going to be confronted with a exceptionally extreme accusation: abuse. greater probable than no longer, your mom is going to have issues of that because of the fact she took your sister and not certainly accompanied her or grew to alter into the criminal mum or dad. i will recommend which you 2 pray, confront your sister and tell her precisely what you pronounced on right here (and which you will pass to juvenille hall decrease than fake rates), and tell the actuality in court. I prefer you the final of success. Kisses

You shouldn't be expected to call home as often as you do. You are growing up, and it sounds like your mom might be having trouble with that fact. If you don't start cutting her cord now, she will only continue to do this into your adult life... and a future significant other may not be too understanding. You need to have a serious conversation with your mother about how you are growing up and that sometimes you just need some you time. You are becoming an adult, and she needs to respect that.

Tell your mom to get a grip on reality. The fact that you call every day should be comforting. What's her trip anyway? 3 hours isn't that bad during finals. Now if it were 3 days that's a different story. If she doesn't want to believe you, invites her up for a few days so she can see what you do (and don't) do.

#2, She is overboard. She needs to fill her time with something else, does she work? She should not be this anxious about you at this age. I know, I have 2 boys, 21 and 23. I worry a little but I don't panic for Pete's sake.

#2, for sure, that's totally mental, you are not 3 anymore, most parents would be thrilled to have their kids check in so often! I'd sit her down and talk to her, she is way too stressed about what you are doing, tell her not to worry unless it's been a week since she heard from you, or your roommate calls saying you're missing - maybe she could benefit from some therapy!

i would say number two and one because you should call her at least once a day at a reasonable time.. say aruon 6 a.m. and number two because plenty of people call other people in the middle of the night, and if she calls the cops they are just goi to think she id overprotactive and wouldnt see where shes coming from or why shes even calling... but i dont think she had any reason to call the cops, butthey wont do anything because she really doesn't have a reason to be calling them... i hope my answer helps you bunches!!!!
Take Care And God Bless

the whole thing does not make sense. Why should your mom call the police because of the time you called her. Did the police take her seiously. Sounds fishy. The whole thing sounds so silly, I cant choose 1 or2.
