She's told me for about 4 years
now that my hair is far too long, that I need to learn to cook more, she loves to give me a ton of unsolicited advice about my relationship, school, my house.
AGHH. I love her, but she is too much, even though I know she means well. Anyone else's mom like this?
Does your mom nag you about little things?

I don't know, it seems like most people's mothers, at my age have let go or at least calmed down considerably in the nagging department.
She is nuts. She comes over my house and will be having a conversations with me and starts to clean off my counter tops or wipe down my cupboards...and I clean my entire house about once a week and definitely keep up on the little things, so it's not like it's dirty... |

When we lived on the other side of the state we were only a couple blocks from my dad's house in a very small town. There were a few occasions when my
husband was at work in the evening that I would walk over there with the baby because they were having some kind of get together. If I wasn't home and
calling my mom by dark she would call my dad's house to see if I was still there. Then when I did get home and call her to let her know (so she
wouldn't AGAIN call his house) it would be, "You made it home okay? (duh!) Is the baby in bed? Did you lock the doors?"
I was 23 years old, married with a child of my own and living in a new town doing perfectly fine! Then after we moved back here and she temporarily was living with us, anytime we'd leave the house she'd ask if we had the keys and if the door was locked. I always responded with, "Oh, no! I forgot! How did we ever survive in Lancaster without you, Mom?!" She didn't much appreciate that. |

Hell, my mom cleans too. I let her. It makes her feel better I guess. My house gets cleaned weekly as well, as in scrubbed and disinfected but it doesnt stop
her and I just refuse to argue.

My mom tries to make sure all of my business is her business. She can't even take a simple answer either. It's like
Her: Where ya going? Me: Mall Her: With who? Me: With _____ Her: What time will you be back? Me: Don't know. Her: What're you guys gonna do? Me: Don't know. Her: Tell her to pick you. Me: I'm driving. I'm gonna pick her up. Her: Do you have gas? Me: No. Her: Do you want money for gas? Me: Sure. Her: If you want money you shouldn't go. Me: You asked me. Her: You don't have any gas. Me: I didn't ask you for money. Her: But you said you wanted some. Me: You sounded like you were offering. Her: I'm not gonna pay for you to take someone else somewhere. Me: Ok then. Her: Go to marketplace and buy corn on your way home. Me: Are you gonna give me gas money? Her: If you buy me corn. Me: Sure! Can I go now?! She's waiting for me! Her: Go, but before you leave clean the bathroom. I wanna check it before you leave. Me: This is how me and my mom's convos used to go! NO LIE! Now, I just walk out. She gotta call me on my cell when I'm a mile away to ask me any nonsense questions. |

joey LMFAO
That was how our conversations went too when I lived with her! It got to the point that I would just be like "yeah, mm-hmm" every time she said/asked anything and then she would get irritated and scream. Not fun.
Her: Go to marketplace and buy corn on your way home.and Had me ![]() So familiar.
I guess the most irritating thing is about my hair or how I wear too much black. She's always like..."Why is your hair so long and so black?! You look like a witch, all your clothes are black too. Are you OK?!?!?" And when I start to look or sound hurt/annoyed she back-peddles and says like "Well, you would just look so much more attractive if your hair wasn't SO long/dark, it's too harsh...it washes out your 'natural beauty' and people might think you are sad." It's like just tell me you think I'm weird-looking, Mom! ![]()

I want to do one of our conversations. This is her calling me not more than 2 hrs ago. Not word for word, obviously but you know.
Her: Hi. What are you doing? Me: Oh I'm on the computer Her: What are you doing there? Me: Shopping Her: You shop too much. That can become a problem you know Me: Yes, I know. I have it under control Her: You buy things that you never even wear. I've seen all the crap you accumulate Me: No I wear my stuff...... Her: You should do homework on the computer instead Me: Mom, my summer classes don't begin until the 4th of next month Her: Well you should go over your textbooks and prepare yourself at least Me: I know Her: It's always better to be familiar with the material before the class starts Me: I know. I'm a grown-up. Her: So what's (boyfriend's name) doing? Me: He's watching TV and playing w/ the dog Her: Let me talk to him!! Boyfriend: *shakes his head frantically* Me: Uh he's about to go outside Her: Did you cook him dinner Me: No, he already ate Her: You better cook something, you need to learn how to make a lot of things so he doesn't get bored or really hungry and leave you Me: ......
Her: You know?! That's when I tell her I'll call her later.
