[quote=Anonymous]I hear you, OP. I have a smother mother too. She still thinks I'm a little girl and tries to baby me. This is why I live 1,500 miles away from her. I feel guilty about it sometimes. But then I remember with clarity why she bugs the fire out of me and I feel content. I had to get very abrupt with her when she was doing these things. According to everyone else and herself, she's an ideal mother - so kind & caring. Well, it's just too f-ing much for me. My sister is much better about it than me, she hangs up with no qualms, tells Mom to STFU (in a nice way) and it works. Who knows what the solution is? Try a few different things. Also - if they don't hear you verbally, write a letter. That gives them/her a chance to digest what you've communicated and avoids making an awkward scene. Use the examples you've listed above, and end it on a positive but firm note.[/quote]
