Definitely unnecessary. Try talking to her and explain why that's inappropriate. Maybe she'll understand. Or just continue to be paranoid.

Correction, what OP's mother did was unnecessary, not what number 1 suggested.

not really. mom probably thought the worst, like OP was dying or something.

One would assume that the person would be sleeping at that time.. It's still early in the morning. What any normal rational person would have done is call and knock on the door at around 9-10am if they couldn't get a hold of the person at that time of the morning. That's a reasonable time.

18- all before 7 am? that's pretty ridiculous. that's one overprotective mom.

op should move away. far away.

Moving far away will only make it worse. OP better hope overbearing psycho like attitudes are not hereditary.

She Wouldn't be so Psycho if OP was tied up and getting beaten by Ninja Pirates now would she?

71 - What book is that? Or is it a movie?

Yeah, but the early worm gets eaten by the bird.

But the second mouse gets the cheese.

Um, in pretty sure if you thought your kid was in trouble you would have to find a way to make sure they're okay. I'll admit she may have gone overboard, but that in no way means that she needs therapy. Therapy is for mentally or emotional ill people. Not for caring mothers

Um, there's always the chance she's obsessed and not willing to let their children move on, that calls for a nice long talk. P.S. Um.

@ 34 That is actually a common misconception about therapy. It is not only for the mentally or emotionally ill. In this case I would suggest OP and her mother go to family counseling to work on creating boundaries in their relationship and helping the mother cope with anxiety about her child

.. What?

59, I'm assuming it's a reference to the Taken movies.

As opposed to under excessive?

#41, your comment was ceremoniously majestic! Lol!

No, it wasn't.

Man, I tell ya. Sarcasm is lost in this digital world!

Unless a significant other is surprising you with things such as breakfast. With bacon. Bacon is an acceptable reason to show up unannounced that early in the morning.

I fail to see how Dora the Explorer got into this.. The only thing Dora teaches you is that maps, backpacks and monkeys can talk and apparently get you to your final destination.

Dora also taught me to talk to strange animals and inanimate objects in Spanish... However, I only speak to strange animals and inanimate objects in Elvish, so...

**** that. If its my day off I'm going to sleep in.

She thought OP was.

whoosh!
