She's worried about you. You need to sit her down and have an adult conversation with her. That is what you're after right? To have her treat you more like an adult? Ok, then you'll have to show her you are one. Sit her down and tell her you know how concerned she is about you but you're an adult now and need to make your own decisions. You're really glad to know she's there for you if you ever need advice but all this unsolicited advice is a little overwhelming and you're not sure how to deal with it.

People who try to submit control over others are possibly bored with their own lives, or have underlying anxiety issues.
So, trying to tell others what they "should" do is a temporary relief from their own boredom and/or anxiety.
Your mom needs to get a life, i suppose. Meanwhile do what you feel is right for YOU and let what she says roll off your back. There is no sense getting all worked up because she is a control freak... sometimes we just have to sit back and realize we can't change others...

You shouldn't be that angry at her...she really cares about you and you should really be thankful for that. You should at least say thank you to her.
