My mom hates my boyfriend she gets mad because sometimes I hang out with him and we end up coming back late a lot. And she gets mad because I forget to tell her that I'm leaving and all this other garbage.
She doesn't trust me anymore... and she never trusted him even though he's really trustworthy. She gets mad that I spend lots of time with him and keeps saying I should be working on college stuff instead.
Whenever I'm out she calls my phone like 8 times in just a few hours. And usually I turn my phone off because I don't want to talk to her or I don't answer it because... I can't. And then she gets mad about that too.
Not only is it annoying and an invasion of my privacy... but it's embarassing because if I say I'm going to be at a friend's house she calls their house to check if I'm there.
She's being a jerk just because a few times I forgot what time to come back home, and forgot to tell her where I was going or said I was going somewhere when I was really going somewhere else. But it's only because she wouldn't have let me otherwise and would yell at me.
I'm 17... so I'm way too old to have her always annoying me. But she won't stop.

sounds like mum got up to some mischief when she was your age to me

lolz no you aren't 'too old'. i understand your little bratty rant, but also understand her intentions. safety is such a major things, teenagers are so careless, and what about the people out there, the strangers with their pockets full of date rape? you can never be too paranoid. she just cares because she would like to see you grow up and go to college and all that stuff parents get weepy proud over. you got in late those few times, no deal to you big deal to her. what if you were bashed up on the side of the road? these may seem a little dramatic but thats what mothers think. she let you go out and you came back late those few times, so now she has to check on you because you couldnt come back early. deal with it. you'll be 18 (super 'old') in no time.

Maybe it's not so much your boyfriend but your behavior towards the situation. You said yourself that you don't tell her when you're leaving and you come back past your curfew, which is irresponsible.

my thought exactly. its not like youre doing anything to make her trsut you. if you keep betraying her trust of course you arent going to get freedom etc.

my mum is becoming a bit uptight lately as well (i'm also 17) because with the whole finishing school thing she thinks she's losing me. that and as someone up higher said, my mum got up to some mischief when she was young. she knows all the tricks of the trade and we're so similar she thinks i might be getting up to shit. fortunately i'm not. im the most responsible person i know.
