Nosy mom
17/f
My mother wants to know not only everything that goes on in my life, but everything that goes on in anyone that i know's life. She asks questions constantly about every tiny detail, that I couldn't possibly know the answer to and that she really has no need to know. She says its "her job" to take an interest in my life. When I get angry with her for asking so many questions, she gets very upset and says she can't even have a conversation with her own daughter.
I realize that she loves me and only wants to be a part of my life, but shouldn't there be a line drawn somewhere? Anytime I let her know that I'm getting annoyed with the "conversations" that feel more like interrogations, she gets very offended and even cries sometimes. Please help me find a way to talk about it with her without offending her. I doubt she would actually cut back on the questions, but any help would be REALLY appreciated. Thanks :]

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
Try making conversation with her that doesn't involve your life , ask her about HER day and HER friends.Maybe she'll feel content with having these conversations instead.
