It's very much normal, you are never too old for parents to stop worrying about you. Now it seems annoying, but one day when you are a parent you will understand. Those of us who have parents like that complain, but their are those who wished, that they parents would care. Consider youself blessed.

what a coincidence, only the other day i was watchin one of those shows like dr. phil n this girl only she was 16 had the same prob with her mom. her mom wakes her up everyday, makes her coffee, drills her on not forgettin stuff home, like lunch, keys, cel, even though she can live witout them for a day. she even sits in on her band practice.
so here's this girl all angry an stuff who is wonderin wat the hecs wrong wid mom.
but guess wat it turns out that mom' mother suffered from depression in her earlier days aroun age9 and this is actually when mom started being overprotective of her own daughter always wantin to be there for her even when she needs her space. so because mom always feared for her mother's life and was never really cared for or really loved for by her mom at such a tender age she feels this need.
i hope u see where i'm goin with this i don' mean it's the same with ur mom but you should probably find out why she feels such a need to be over you all the time. maybe its all i love don't hate i'm sure you don't feel this way always aybe you even like some of the things she does while tryin to protect you. love is complicated huh, guess we gotta live with it. take care hope i helped.

Sounds like they're definitely overprotective. Can you talk to them and let them know you really need some exposure to other people and events before you move out? Don't be discouraged. Once you're on your own you'll appreciate how much they care for you.

i'd have to say yes because up until your 18 your parents have raised you right when your 18 you can stand on your own feet

from what you say, no it doesn't sound right in my book but, have you recently done something to make them mistrust you? are you respectful of them and their things?
