Today, while watching a family movie, my mother made every effort to make sure I covered my eyes during a kissing scene. I guess it shouldn't be a surprise, since she still forces me to put my phone in her room every night as she makes me go to bed at 8:30 PM. FML

Today, I went to see a movie with my parents. During a sex scene, my dad covered my eyes. I'm married and have 2 kids. FML
Today, I was watching a movie that had a mild sex scene in it. My mother walked in just as that scene was starting and she flipped out. I'm now grounded. She's taken my TV and laptop out of my room and refuses to let me see my boyfriend because she's sure he's the cause of my "disgusting behaviour". FML
Today, my dad lectured me because my mom cried herself to sleep last night. Why? Because I didn't want to watch a movie with her. I had to go to sleep to be up for work at 6 a.m., and was too tired to watch a movie in the first place. I live with drama queens. FML
Today, I took a girl I like to the movies. Everything went great until I went in to kiss her. She didn't object, but my mother, who apparently followed me to the theater and was now pulling me away by my shirt while saying, "We're leaving!" certainly did. FML
Today, my mom came into my room to give me a goodbye kiss. Due to the routine of my girlfriend doing the exact same thing in the exact same spot, I held the kiss way longer than what a mother/son kiss should last. My mom actually had to tell me to "let go". FML
Today, I was watching the movie Frozen with my 8 year old daughter. I had seen it before, so I sung along with some of the songs. My daughter put a finger over my lips, said "Shhhhhhhhut the fuck up," then turned back to the TV, giggling. FML
Today, while babysitting a young girl, I put on the movie Bambi, as she told me it was her favorite movie. I didn't know that her parents always skipped the scene where Bambi's mom dies. Despite my attempts to comfort her, she was still upset when her parents returned. Her mom blamed me. FML
Today, my parents watched a horror movie with some creepy child in it. Apparently, I sound just like that kid when I call for my mom, so now she doesn't want me to call her mom anymore. FML
Today, my mom decided it was a good idea to put a camera in my room so I could be watched at all times, to make sure I'm behaving. I'm 14. FML
Today, my mom came in my room to give me a goodbye kiss. Out of pure instinct, from hours of doing this to my girlfriend in this exact same spot, I held the kiss way longer than what a mother-son kiss should last. My mom actually had to tell me to "let go" before I let her leave. FML

Good , be glad someone cares enough to protect you from the world.

It's worse to be sheltered from the world than to be prepared for it. If you're sheltered from the world, then you'll never be prepared for it and you'll likely fall flat on your face time and time again, having to learn everything on your own. If you're prepared, though, you'll at least be able to start with both feet on the ground instead of your face on the ground.

I grew up with a girl whose mother thought like you, 43. I always thought her life was kinda sad. She was always completely shocked at the totally benign and age-appropriate things my parents allowed, such as staying home by myself for a few hours as a young teen or driving myself somewhere after getting my license. Her mom monitored her Facebook and actually deleted several of her school friends because they weren't people that she (the mom) knew personally. And yes, her mom monitored what she could watch and read her text messages just like OP's mom. The end result? My friend is an adult who cannot function by herself. She is afraid of everything. Protecting a child from the bad out there is fine, but protecting them from life? That's one of the cruelest things you can do.

Even though I'm a teenager and I don't have a job, my mother completely trusts me and pretty much lets me watch any movies I want, spend my money the way I want, and use my phone the way I want(as long as what I'm doing is legal). She has trusted me with a phone since I was 11. At one point(I was 13 when I went and 14 when I left), my dad took custody of me and let his GiRLFRIEND that we lived with put parental controls on my phone that pretty much stopped me from listening to half of my music, going on the Internet(even for schoolwork I wasn't allowed on using ANY device EVER), getting any app that was 12+ or above. Luckily, I'm back with my mom now. Some parents just suck. My dad is a jerk and it's ridiculous, but there was nothing I could do.

OP, how old are you? It sounds like your mother is treating you like you're 7 years old!

One day, just go up to her and tell her you're pregnant, or that you're going to be a father, and then see her reaction?
