If you're talking about yourself, she's having a hard time realizing you're growing up. I think it's normal on her part, as a lot of moms can't bear the fact of their kids getting older and not needing them as much for the little things like that. It would have driven me crazy at that age, though. If you haven't already said anything to her, I would, but BE NICE ABOUT IT! Tell her you appreciate the fact that she loves you that much, but maybe you try a different night-time ritual that's a little more age-appropriate for you. Maybe going for an evening walk a few times each week, or an evening snack, or a TV show to watch together. The key is to not make her feel rejected by you, so you need to suggest an alternative activity so she doesn't think you're trying to push her out of your life or something. This way, she may be a little sad that you're growing up, but she'll know that you love her, too, so that will make her feel better. I have a 2 year old, and it broke my heart the other day when she put a shirt on by herself correctly. I know it sounds crazy, but us mom's love to be needed. You'll understand later.

Yeah. You're still her baby, and she's having a hard time coming to terms that you're growing up. You'll understand if you have kids yourself one day. I didn't realize what it was like myself until my son was born last year. He's only 9 months old, but already I'm amazed at how fast he's growing up, and I know I'll have a hard time when he becomes a teen. Maybe you could indulge her a little bit now and again to help make the transition a little easier for her. But if it's really bugging you, try and tell her in a nice way. Becoming a teen is hard for the kid, but I swear it's a bit harder for the parents!

It's perfectly normal. Your mom loves you and you should not take offence to her tucking you in bed, even if you're in grade 7. It's not like she is embarrassing you in front of your friends. Just think of all the children out there that have parents that don't care. You are considered one of the lucky one's. So try to appreciate it!

Yes. In fact even if it seems like she's treating you like a baby, she just wants to stay close to you. Often when we get older we start drifting away from our parents, but what you need to realize is that they never drift away from you. So even if you get annoyed with your mom just try to remember that she loves you and thats why she still tucks you in. Trust me I know how you feel, I'll be in high school next year and my mom still tucks me in!

Depends on how she tucks you in I guess. My mom would come in and say good night. Sometimes she'd make the blankets really tight around me and kind of bounce the bed while she did it. It was really funny and she did it to make me laugh. So I think it's ok if you are ok with it.

Moms feel like their children are always their babies, even when they are in their forties and fifties. Talk to her or write her a note and tell her that she does not have to do that any more. I know it sounds strange but as old as I am, married, with children, when I go visit my mom, she still turns the light off for me before I go to sleep. I wish my dad were still living to do the same.

Yes. Sometimes parents and/or gardians have trouble accepting that their little boy/girl is growing up and they forget that eventually you will fall away from them around this age. Just tell her one night that you'll just get yourself off to bed that night. If she refuses try talking to her and say that you are growing up and don't really need the comfort of beeing tucked into bed like you used to. Tell her that you really appriciate how much she cares for you, but you are growing up. Hope It Helps! :)

Totally normal! I still tuck-in my 11-year-old. It gives us a chance to catch up on our day without any distractions.
If it's annoying you, talk to her about it. Tell her what you are and aren't comfortable with ("Mom, I like when you come in and say goodnight to me, but pulling my covers up under my chin is a bit much.")
It's really hard to watch our babies grow up.
