I just told my 7 year old daughter and my 6 year old son, if I ever do that, to hang up on me. My husband is giggling!!!!

You know, you should be glad that your mom is still here to tell you what to do. Alot of people's parents are gone....could you honestly stand that? I know that I couldn't and I am alot older than you. Just tell her firmly but gently that you are grown,you appreciate her advice, but you are going to do it your way. just try to tolerate. I worked in an assisted living facility and watched families loose their mothers everyday. It is a very hurtful and heart breaking experience. I am not trying to be mean. Just try and understand her. Good Luck

I'm not over 35, but my mother is, and HER mother does the same thing. As much as it doesn't seem like it, you might even be that way with your own children. It's got to do with the whole "letting go and moving on" thing. Your mom loves you. Her being the way she is now just shows that she loves you very much and still considers you to be her baby. Thank her for her advice....just don't tell her you didn't take it. :)

It never stops, I'm sorry! Mine has somewhat given up on actually saying what she thinks, but she always has that tone and that look that say without words how much she hates the decisions I make~especially with the kids, like all my decisions in that area aren't an attempt at making sure I don't make the same mistakes she did (that she won't admit to of course).

Yeah, my mom does that. Sometimes I will call her on it. Most of the time I just hear her out and then do as I was going to in the first place. I don't think it will ever stop.

She calls everyday and when she sees that I havn't came home for a few days ahe wants to know where I was. See she lives across the street and she is always wanting to know waht we are doing over here and I am now soon to be 39.

Well...... I don't know what to say. My Mom does not call to check up on me or anything like that. She has always thought of herself first. I hear from my Dad more about how we are doing and such as that. My parents are divorced and yes I know I will miss my Mom when she is gone.

I don't want you to hate me....but, smile and take your Moms' anything/everything cause my Mom died in 1985 and I so wish she was still calling me about anything so that I could hear her voice and enjoy her words of wisdom.
I always just listened and if I could use what she said I did but, the other stuff? Throw it over you shoulder. When she calls listen to her voice and memorize it for when she can no longer call you.....

I'm 49 and my dad does that all the time, I'll probably be doing it to my son when he's 49...... I'll bet your kids will be asking this when they're 35, It never stops.

Lol. Sure, she does it constantly. I'm 59 and she's 82, so I doubt that she changes her ways anytime soon. Don't want her to either.
Be grateful she cares. You'll miss her when she's gone. Just listen then do what you feel is best for you and your family.

It will stop when you tell her to stop; not before.
Try; "Mom, I love you, but I think I got this one". That or you just smile, say thank you and do what you want anyway.
Edit... Sorry, I'm 41. My Mom still hasn't stopped.
