My mother still treats me like I am 12. Same old same old...
Why won't they allow me to grow and follow my own path in life.
Does this bother anyone else?

my daughter just laughs because she has the freedom to choose her own path and if she makes mistakes then she learns......my mum still reminds me I need to get some milk from the shop!!!!! like I don't know what's in my fridge

As a father and son, I admit to bothering my grown up kids, and being bothered by my mother. Its a natural, normal, thing that we all do, or will do to our offspring. We worry about them so we try to forewarn or advise them, such is responsible parenthood. The thing we must not do is interfere, or mock there error of judgement, no matter how bad it may be. A soft word in their ear, is far better than a pisstaking lecture on what they did wrong. It sounds as if you have yet to be a mother, but when it happens, you too will join the club of carers. Until then enjoy yourself and be happy that someone is looking out for you, even if it seems, a bit excessively.

Im 27, when I split up from my first husband at the age of 25 my mother was all over me, molly cuddling me all the time to make sure i was allright, coming with me where ever i went to make sure i was not doing anything stupid. Wanting to meet any boy friends I had and giving them the third degree.
I eventally got my own place and moved out of her home, where she had me move to when I split up with my ex-hubbie.
Since I moved address she has not really bothered me and take it from me sometimes you miss the nagging. Be grateful for what she does just tell her straight that you dont want her making your decisions and messing with your life. She will understand that she could lose her daughter if she meddles too much, so she will calm down.
But never take your mother for granted, you may need them to meddle sometimes.
Good luck.

get used to it . its because they love you.
i would consider what they say to you but dont let it dictate decisions you make. If they are 'meddling' as you put it with serious consequences then that is a different matter and you really need to put a stop to that and if that results in a big fight/fallout then thats the way it has to be. they will probably always love you and time will heal any animosity between you and them.
u dont mention whether u still live with them or not?
if u do then u just have to suck it up buddy!
good luck anyway x

I'm 31 and yes my mum does meddle a little in my life and does treat me as if I am still a child but I know she does it out of love and just accept that that's what mums are like and will always be like.

I'm 35 this year, still live at home with mum and dad for medical and financial reasons even though have degree. Yeah, sometimes I do wish my mum would Butt out, but I'm not a bad person really (i.e I don't go out getting drunk, go to nightclubs, hang out with guys etc) and I can't cook for **** so have to be grateful for that. I think they are just trying to look out for you and perhaps don't realise that sometimes you feel they interfere too much. Try chatting to them and dropping subtle hints that you'd like a bit more freedom. They are only trying to do what's in your best interests so try and cut them a little slack and be glad they care. As long as they are your parents they will and you'll miss them when they are gone.

No. But I wish. Both parents long gone. But mom never meddled in my life. She knew I'd have to find things out on my own and trusted me to do just that.
