Too Much Discipline?
Quote From: nodoubt_zerepI'm 19 and I'm living at home with my mom and younger brother. I go to school full time, I involved in a dance company, and I work. I respect what my mom wants but she disciplines me and treats me like I'm still under 18. I don't party, I don't go out all night, and I don't even talk back all the time. She threatens me and says she'll take things away and she corrects me in public. I even have to ask if I may go anywhere still. Its awful but there is nothing I can do because I can't move out. How can I approach my mother about changing how she treats me? I'm 19 but I'm treated like I'm 12. Well, some parents have a very hard time letting go of being that kind of a parent. It's sometimes hard to make that transition.
Sit down and talk to her about this, like an adult. Don't cry or get mad or anything like that. Tell her you are trying your best to go from kid to adult and you need her help and guidance in doing so.
