I am a teenager - extreme moms READ THIS PLEASE
Quote From: ntramosI was always with my kids, I took them everywhere, they loved it when I joined them to go to the movies or wherever. We were always a family, and I as a mother, constantly gave my kids hugs, kisses, and told them how much I was proud of them, how much they meant and how much I loved them. To this day, they are mature grown adults with very good careers and life. I have no regrets being there and always asking questions about their friends, their school, their teachers, I wanted to know as much as I could, and at the same time, they liked it because they think I am a cool mom, and I am always there for them and I listen to them.
I disagree with the mom who let her young son go on the subway by himself. She should thank God that nothing happen to him, and she should never do this again.
As for the other mom always peeping in and watching them, GO FOR IT, as long as it does not interupt their lives, and they do not mind.

Cleveland, Ohio Hi there everyone! I just really wanted to stop in and let all you 'emtreme moms' know that if you love your child please for not only their sake but your families sake know that you have to let go a little. And of course it depends on the situation but by a little i mean A LOT. My mom was always very over protective when i was younger and we constintly got in verbal arguments and even physical fights at times. Sure, i was a little kid (and not saying i was an angel child) but I am now seventeen and our family is a complete mess. I have tried numerous times to talk to them about becoming a real family (by that i mean talking without fighting and doing things together like movies or even just playing cards) but it seems no matter what i did (with help from a school counsler even) everything was always my fault in the end. I don't know if you watched todays (9/29) episode on emtreme moms but DR.PHIL IS RIGHT!! After all these years i just gave up and eventually stopped talking to both my parents and sister alike because i felt i was so sick of fighting and crying and being angry that i was better off not talking at all. So now here i am, seventeen, and i got into some big trouble involving alcohol and drugs and yes.. (the parents worst fear) sex. I didn't get pregnant or anything but did make some bad choices at a party one night (that i lied to my parents about. OH and from a teenagers point of view... TEENAGERS WILL PARTY! I don't think parents understand that it doesn't matter if your kid has a 4.2 or a 2.4 GPA kids want to have the experience of parties. No matter how much you watch over your kid, THEY WILL GO TO PARTIES. But if your like one of my friends moms who is more of a 'hands-off mom' my friend tells her mom every time she goes to party and that way she always feels comfortable to call her mom if she is put into a bad situation at that party. Anyways back to extreme moms, I'm not blaming all my actions on my parents but I AM saying that it would have been nice to just have them there to talk to in the first place. Ughh.. i could talk about this forever but PLEASE over protective moms out there listen to me as if i were your child... "I do love you and i want you to be in my life when i grow up but i also don't want to be afraid to talk to you about things. Please give me space in life to liVe!! The closer you pull me to you, the farther i want to be from you. So please mom, let me go a little. Yes, I will get into trouble but in times of need i want you to be my place i run to... not the place i run away from."
