[quote=Anonymous]This sounds bearable, she's not barging in with soup and rearranging cabinets. In her mind, she thinks she's showing her love and it will be extremely hard to change old habits. It's easier for her to revert to childhood patterns than see you as a competent adult. As annoying as it is, at least it comes from a place of love. BTDT. Take the advice about not giving details. They will get defensive if you call them out for treating you like a child, don't do it. It is mean because they aren't capable of viewing as you do and don't understand your reaction. You changed; they didn't keep up. If you slip up and tell them too much, try to let it roll off as often as you can. In my case, my mom is much better now that I have kids but occasionally I have to remind her I'm grown. She's actually open to my point of view but she just can't help herself. [/quote]
