So I live with my parents but I'm 21. I respect there rules and help around the house. My mom however wants to know where I am, almost all of the time. Like she knew I had a few meetings on my college campus but then a friend asked me to work on a project with her while I was on campus. So when I get home my mom was pissed because I didn't come straight home or tell her. She was mad she didn't know where I was even though I never left the campus and she knew my meetings were on campus. It's not like she was waiting on me or we had plan. Does she really need to know where I am almost all the time?

    Welcome to being a parent. Parents always worry.

    That's the shit that would make me disappear for days when I was your age.

    Until you move out you have to follow her rules.

    She sounds quite overbearing but I think that's normal.

    It's just how moms are. They often worry to an extent that's unreasonable, but it's because they love us. Just try to be patient with her.

    Honestly, one day when you're living on your own all alone, you might actually miss your mom. I argued with my mom once over a similar issue and I remember I kept asking her "why is it important for you to know"
    As parents here have pointed out, we'll probably only know that answer when we are parents ourselves

      Sorry to say my mom is abusive and living with her is like walking on eggshells. I only stay to protect my little brothers. Its not like I don't love her but she is quite toxic in my life.

        I understand. You do what you need to do.

    I can understand both points of view. I was the annoyed college student once and now I'm a mother.

    I can totally see myself worrying my kid was kidnapped or killed if he was 5 minutes late, then becoming hysterical.

    I guess that's just how parents are. You have an innate need to protect your offspring.

    She's your mom and I'm sure she got mad because she was anxious. It's not as if she did nto let you go out. Just send a text when you'll be late.

    Maybe it's time to move out.

    Had a stepmom like that. I just kept saying “I’m not your kid, don’t worry about me.” Maybe you could say “Mind your own business. Don’t worry about what I’m doing.”
