How do you deal with a mom that is extremely overprotective?
Question:
im 17.. and a guy.. with a 96 avg.. going to college on scholarship
Answer:
talking to your mom is the best way. like..sit down and talk calmly about it. Explain to her that you're growing up and you want to go out more but she's limiting that and you don't like it.
Or..you could stay out really late one night..and then when you get home, your mom will of course not be happy, and then sit down and explain to her why you stayed out late and that you want to.
It worked for me, but then that's my parents..so..not sure if it would work for you..but try it anyways.
just talk to her, and tell her that she is too overprotective. and plan out things if she agrees with you. like curfew can be at 11pm, or 10pm, and stuff like that. but don't sneak out. because something can happen to you, or you can get kidnapped, and no one knew where you were.
just wait a bit more if their suggestions doesn't work. my mom became a little less overprotective when i was in college. and less protective now that i'm takin up my post-grad studies.
i won't advice you to show her that you're responsible...if you're getting good grades, then i would bet you are. :)
goodluck!
Mines the same way and im 22 with 2 children remind her that your a big boy and stand firm on being able to take care of yourself..
