I Need to Vent

[(Anonymous)]

So I'm enrolling in university. My mother wanted to come, but after pointing out multiple times that they asked only students to show up, she finally conceded not to. Only then she asked for me to have my phone on during the conversation so she could listen in. And when I said 'no', she snapped at me that she does so many things for me and how I won't do anything for her. And then she implied that she doesn't trust me to tell her what happened.

So I'm a little upset right now. I was wondering if that's rightfully so or if I'm being ridiculous. Please advise me, FS.

Tell her to fuck off.

Seriously, though, she's being totally ridiculous and you're totally in the right. IS she helping you pay for school or anything like that?

Re: I Need to Vent

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, she is - sorry, I neglected to mention that.

I wouldn't mind her coming with if it weren't against protocol. As it is, though...

You're mom's being ridiculous.

Also, if you can get away with it, just turn your phone off and tell her that they asked you to do so, for ~reasons. (Hell, they might actually do so!)

1) Are you an adult? If you are, it isn't her business.

2) It's a violation of privacy. Turn it off. I turn mine off during lectures so I don't get distracted.

3) Do you lie to your parents? If she has no reason to distrust you, then she has trust and control issues and this is not your fault.

You're mom is the one being ridiculous. She doesn't need to know what happened; she's not the one going to university. Sounds like some helicopter parenting tbh.

Re: I Need to Vent

It's a bizarre request, whether or not she is paying for your school--but on the other hand, I can't help wondering if she is "implying that she doesn't trust you" to relay your conversation accurately because you have a history of lying to her.

Nope, you're not being ridiculous. That's a helicopter parent right there. Even my dad, who was pretty notorious for lack of privacy and wanting to know ALL THE THINGS (because there might be Men! and I might get Predatored! and and and! Don't you know community colleges are prime ground for sex offenders?! ... yeah), didn't go as far as wanting to have a cell phone open so he could hear everything.

Even if your mom is paying for school, it's still a massive amount of WTFery. As in, I've heard a lot of friends gripe about helicopter parents, and I don't think I have heard this particular plan before. o.O

Your mom is the one being ridiculous, probably. What reason could she have, beyond noisiness, to want to listen in?

Re: I Need to Vent

[(Anonymous)]

Your mom is being ridiculous.

Good luck anon! My mom is paranoid and overprotective and doesn't trust me even when I never gave her reason not to. I hope you can get away from her asap, if she is half as toxic as mine is (I, unfortunately, haven't been able to do so yet)
