You will always be her baby! If you want her to take you more serious you have to show her you are responsible. Act responsible, help her out, be respectful.

It depends upon how old you are. Some mothers are unable to let go no matter how old their children get to be.
My mother worried about my little brother until the day she died. She always wanted to protect him and take care of him. He had a very responsible job and had a wife (yuck) and three girls. He did many things for many people (as far as help) and was successful. She just couldn't get over the idea that she needed to make sure he was OK and that she needed to do everything for him. As an adult he played baseball (he even managed the team) but my mother would make sure that when she went to the games, she had extra tissue, Advil, Band-Aids and extra soft drinks just in case my brother needed anything. I don't think my dear mother would have ever changed. She still would have considered my brother her baby.
The best thing that you can do is be responsible and make sure that you do what you need to do no matter how your mother acts. My mother's behavior did not hurt my brother as he made sure that he was an independent person.
If you are very young, this answer may not mean much to you. Your mother may come to realize as you get older that you are no longer her baby anymore.
The best of luck to you.

Tell her as gently as possible. All mothers no matter what the circumstances, find it difficult sometimes to come to terms with their children becoming adults. I know I did, and even tho' my children are now 32 and 31, they are still my "children" and always will be. The mother/child bond is the strongest tie any human being can experience. So, treat it with tender, loving care. Your mother will be hurting in ways you will only understand if and when you too become a mother. No matter how badly a mother may treat her children, the bond is never broken.
She knows she has to let go, but at the same time wants to keep you near. Understandably so, if you have always been close. Sit down with her, talk to her as adults, listen to what she has to say too, and I am sure you will both have a better understanding of how things should be in both your lives.
Never having had this wonderful closeness with my mother, I can still understand it is difficult for you, but as a mother I know that talking sensibly with your mum will make all the difference!

As a mom of two now grown daughters I can tell you that actions speak louder then words, Try doing a little extra around the house. Cook dinner every once in awhile. Do things without being asked. My daughters will always be my babies but I can treat them like adults now that I realize that they act like adults.

Just talk to her, and tell her exactly how you feel. There is nothing wrong with mom being a mom, you should be thankful there are a lot of kids in the world that would love to trade places with you. But I understand, the need to establish some kind of independence on your part. Just tell your mom that it's time for you to "grow up, and experience life"....

Very simple,,,fight for your right but dont hurt her,at the end of the day she is looking up for you,,maybe you wont understand this now but once you have a teenaged daughter with her hormones acting up it will feel like murder everytime she comes back home late, so please please do understand that in your head first
how do you wanna get loose a little from her grips ?? thats very simple too,,fight for your right and make her understand that you are a responsible person, you cant act like in the tv where all have functional famalies,, just tell her,,remember she is making you more of a person and you are making her more of a parent so you are teaching each other !

Well, first of all, no matter what our age might become, we will always be their little baby.. Don't act mature cause your mom is getting on your nerves.. Act mature because you feel like it's time for you to become one..
You can join club activities and such.. So that you can have responsibilities.. Maturity is all about dealing well with responsibilities. :)

MORE INFORMATION PLEASE, how old are you? and are you sure your not her baby anymore......... maybe is you showed her that YOUR GROWING UP, take some of the responsibility, (WITHOUT BEING ASKED) do your own laundry, do the dishes, clean your room, clean the entire house, don't ask for money after this, show her that your growing up, and want more tasks, or more responsibilities of your own..... don't ask for money or take any money if offered to you, write her a poem and explain, that you feel you can handle more things......... always add more information...... like age......... good luck.

well i dont suggest saying that, reguardless if thats how you feel, because your only going to hurt her, just show her with actions ( because actions speak louder than words ) that your growing up.
in her eyes you will always be her little baby, every mother is like that
my mom is like that with me and im pregnant
