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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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

Yes there is a fine line between control and being loving and wanting to protect I think. It is hard to know which it is, possibly both.

I would say that YLS, but you should be old enough to disregard and reject her overbearing tendencies. Unless you're – I dunno – 15 or living at home as an adult with no other options, YDI.

It doesn't matter how old you are. If you have to live at home and your parents are control freaks, you cannot change their mind or go against them. Or, rather, you can try, but it won't work.

my parents are exactly the same. I have to charge my phone in their room every night at 9:00. my friends always wonder why im not on social media late at night like they are, it's so embarrassing to tell them this.

Don't worry, give it 6 more years and you can legally move out.

I got my first phone my freshman year of high school. I'm now starting college and have to do the same thing except I leave it on the kitchen counter, which is right next to their room...

You have a good mom OP:) remember this when you are 30+
TallMist 32
Um... No... OP's mom is not a good mom. It does not do good to shelter your kids. Would you want your kids to be clueless in life because you sheltered them or ready for life because you prepared them and DIDN'T shelter them? Sure, the mom means well, but that doesn't necessarily mean good mom

I really thought my grandma was tough on me and old fashioned in her rules, but even though my bedtimes have always been overly strict, they've at least been mostly reasonable for my age. 8:30 was for before I was ten...
