There have been several posters suggesting that you move out on your own - but I have noticed that you never address this. Why? As long as you are dependent upon mommy, I guess you get to be a child. So now, you are grounded. Better start behaving, or you will be going to bed without your dinner. Move out - or stop complaining. You are not an adult yet - maybe when you turn 40 or 50?

Those are pretty much the new restrictions she's now placing on me.



IMHO, unless you are a child, or a cognitively challenged adult that needs your mother's care and supervision, she can not put "restrictions" like that on you.

Please move out and start living an independent adult life.

FFS are you ten years old or 25??? This is absolutely ridiculous, no adult would let "Mom" take their phone away

If my mom tried to take my keys, I'd be like.... OK, since you're the co-signer, you can be on the hook for paying it now. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Well, that's what happen when you accept your mom's stubbornness and move on for the "family's" sake. Enjoy.

Go for it. Don't look back either. My daughter found a guy when she was 20. He respected her and they're in their own home and working on a second child, together for 11 years. I know what she would have said to me if I had try to control her. Good guys are hard to find, keep in mind though that you need to protect yourself and be damn sure of his quality before taking it further.

It appears you are being supported by your relatives and as such you should either follow their wishes or move out or not date at all.

OP please be truthful about your true age. Are you under 18? Please be honest here. I don't know of ANY people in their 20s who live in fear of their parents taking their phone or car away from them. Or putting "restrictions" on them. Including those adults who still live at home, as most of them are at least semi-independent. So you really are not being truthful here about something. Why don't you come clean and be honest? If you are really 25 years old, as you claim, no quality man is going to date a woman who is still so heavily dependent on her parents or mother for support. They are going to see the red flags and walk away from you.

This whole discussion is ridiculous. It sounds like a story from a 16 year old. If the OP isn't lying about her age, it seems like she has some serious growing up to do. A 25 year old should not be fighting with her mommy about phone privileges or car access.

No, there really isn't.

She should find her own place and live her own life. Her mother can either get used to it and accept it or not, but she should not give up her freedom to make her own decisions just to please her controlling, threatening mother.
