My mom gets on my nerves occasionally, she has hated every bf that i've ever bought home, then guilt trips me when i do something that isnt with her, like oh its saturday, remember we always used to go shopping on a saturday, what you doing tonight... staying in with me? no you know im going out with my bf, sunday is mothers day and im taking her for a meal... yet she got a grump on when she found out i was going to the cinema on the night with my bf! She always says oh we never see each other... bearing in mind I still live at home and have just joined the gym with her this seems slightly unfair. Anyone else has a mom like this? or is it just mine? im 22 so not a child either grrr.
 
Seems like mom is having trouble letting you grow up. It's hard for a mother to realize she isn't needed as much any more. Try telling her how you feel. Tell her that you still need her, want to do things with her, etc. Remind her of your need for independace. She doesn't want to push you away but needs to realize that she may if she doesn't back off some.
