Help Me, I Have An Over Protective Mother by toniecutie(f): 10:23am On Dec 17, 2013
[color=#006600][/color] i am an undergrad but my mum treats me like a kid. If i am around guys smiling my mum will look at me like i was flirting or something. I was at a wedding party with my friends and as usual i was dancing but my mum acted like my personal bodyguard and drove all the guys from me with just her eyes!(her eyes are better than guy in x-men o) . She thinks all the guys are into me and almost beat me up because i was talking with one guy staying near us and from what you guessed i have no boyfriend but the way my mum treats me its as if i have chains of them. She told me she is protecting me but na constant embarassment. She yab one boy because she heard him asking for my number. I no de answer one call for haus and all the guys de avoid me. The last time i talked to her about this wahala, i sat for 2 hours straight listening to the lecture about the dangers of boys and how their sole aim is to destroy gals but after she go tell you say she loves my dad die because he is the best. What should i do at least for her to lessen embarassment?

Your mum still see you as a kid probably you act as one at home. Though, a lot of mothers over-protect their children to their disadvantage.

I know for a fact when your results in school start speaking good things, she will begin to loosen up. For now, face your studies and refocus your energy to what you want for the future.

You are still within the age bracket of pleasure in relationship. Most of your peer group do not understand the essence of relationship, hence the reason for your mum's actions.

in as much as i agree wit ur summation, over protectiveness has its own downside. sometimes, its best to allow peoplemake deir mistakes and learn. too much of anyting is bad.

Sweety, mom is sooooooo wrong at controlling you. But she's doing that because she loves you. though she may be expressing it in a wrong way. However, at 18 put all efforts into education, career and just have 'healthy' fun with peers. It's okay to hangout with boys at your age. But no, no, no to se*x. That's the message mom wants to pass onto you. Send her this surprise text:

"Mom I love u, because you loved me first. You're my best friend, & friends don't let friends drive drunk. I promise you I will not fail even one bit of your words & advice even if I'm surrounded by 20 boys. But I wish you could trust me sometimes. It hurts me when u monitor me with boys, like you don't trust me. It hurts & ridicules me. Give me that benefit of doubt, I won't fail please. You are the best mom on Earth...Crying"

Get back on the past and tell us how it goes. Please never date men much older, or far richer than you at this age. You may not be able to resist their manipulations. Hang out with your peers only.

Go out and have fun but your body is the temple of God!

Be patient with your mum.
You are the eldest daughter, she needs you to be the model for your sisters.
I was in such a postion.

The only mistake she can make at that age is getting pregnant! Mama counts that as too much an 'experience' given her age.

Some mistakes are not worth the experience.

Oh well, now I see why she's clucking about y'all like a good mother hen should. Only girls? No brother to act the protective asshole part (which by the way goes a long way in checking the excesses of sisters even though they don't appreciate it).

Ler her be protective please, she's scared of supervising a harem where the King and/or Prince makes his pick as he pleases.

@tonicutie, I'm talking from experience dearie. Trust me ur mum wants d best for u bt she's doing it the wrong way. I grew up in same environment.infact, we were all girls as well. Yours is only mum alone. Mine was dad and mum but then they began to trust me due to my excellent academic performance when I gained admission. Just try to be patient with her. Wish you d best.
