Is it normal if my mom is becomeing more overbearing and trying to keep me at home to spend more time with her eventhough i'm growing up and i want to spend time with my friends and less time with her
you are lucky she loves you. i am planning to have kids i don't even want, i am already counting down to when i can get rid of them.
my own parents, when i left home at 16 (to live in DC as a US Senate Page) told me to stop calling so often, as the phone bill was high. how is that for love? they never called me.
be happy and take it for what it is, love.
it depends how old you are. if you are in your earlier teens it's kind of normal. your mom probably doesn't want to admit you are growing up and is afraid you are gonna do a lot of stupid things- like drinking, drugs and sex too early. just remember she really cares about you and probably misses you and is worried about you- it's normal. I will miss my son a lot when he becomes a teen and prefers other peoples company to ours. if you are older it may be a problem. My grandmother was like that with my mom.. she was very jealous of her friends and all and always tried to keep her home. Mom didn't get married till she was in her 30's and it messed up her life! talk to your mom- not just about being more independent but about being responsible with your independence. we all do very stupid things when we are young. i still do very stupid things and I am married and a father! but let her know you are mature enough to start cutting the apron strings.
I'm having the same issue with my mother. It's gotten to such an extreme that when my father is away at work, she asks that I sleep in the same room with her. Try and talk to her and explain that you may be growing up but that doesn't mean you are growing apart. Set one day out of the week to spend time with her. Try and keep it exclusive. Don't text or call your friends. She'll really appretiate it.
