So I'm 18/f.
I'm in a long-distance relationship right now, with an amazing guy. He's coming to town for a week on the 14th and I can't wait to see him.
But my mom is being a huge hassle. For one, she's making him stay at a hotel on the other side of town (which is 60 bucks a night.) Plus, she read his blog on his myspace and made him add her as a friend on facebook just so she can "know what this kid's all about". I find myself repeatedly apologizing to him because of her invasion of our relationship (she's always asking me what he meant by blah blah blah or teasing me about what I'll leave him for a comment, etc.) It's getting so annoying. I know she means well, but I feel like I'm under constant supervision.
She's insisting on driving me to the airport to pick him up when he flies in, and she even refuses to wait in the car when I go in to find him. All I want is to say hello to him without her supervision, since I haven't seen him in person since December. How can I convince her to just back off?? Help! I'm desperate.
Well excuse her for being protective of her daughter. I mean God forbid she would actually CARE? It's a known fact that EVERYONE tells the truth on the internet anyway.
She's your mother...it's her right to be protective, I'd be a lot more upset if she didn't give a shit about your well being with meeting someone who, lets face it, is basically an internet stranger. She doesn't want her daughter becoming another potential cyber-crime statistic. Personally, I wouldn't want some kid my daughter met on the INTERNET sleeping on my couch either, but that's just one of my quixotic thoughts. 60 bucks a night? Hey- too bad, that's life; you made the trip so take the responsibility of also paying for lodging. She's not going to back off, and in time you will be thankful of her caution.
Sometimes things are a little deeper than "Mommy is trying to control my life."

god, way to be insensitive, bitch. Holy balls. I appreciate the perspective, but I love how you helped in no way but to criticize.
