Dear Dr Know,

My mom decides and cares about nearly everything in my life-my clothes, my after-school classes, even who I hang out with. I know she does these because she loves me, but it's really annoying and it makes me stressful, What can I do?

Mike

Dear Mike,

I can understand you.

You're right when you say that she does these things because she loves you. It's quite possible that she does them because she still regards you as a young child.

But on the other hand, as you are getting older, you will need to be more independent. Your mom might not want to hear this. Why not sit down and have a talk with her and explain that you want to exercise your independence more? Tell her that you can deal with some things on your own, and you will ask her for help when needed. Hope my suggestions helpful.

Dr. Know
