I took a deep breath and tried to explain. "Mom, I appreciate it. But sometimes I feel like you're treating me like a kid. I'm 25 years old. I can make my own decisions about my health and wellness. Can we find a balance here?"
When I was younger, it was cute. She'd make me healthy snacks and pack my lunch for school. But now, she still talks to me like I'm 10 years old. She constantly reminds me to eat my veggies, to drink enough water, and to get enough sleep. I mean, I appreciate the concern, but come on, I'm a grown adult.
She looked at me with a confused expression, like she didn't understand why I was resisting her help. "But sweetie, this will help you sleep so much better. It's got lavender and chamomile. It's good for you." My Gym Mommy Treats Me Like A Kid-
I sighed and finished the snack, feeling like a kid again. I know she means well, but sometimes I wish she could just treat me like an adult.
I looked at her and said, "Mom, I think I'm old enough to take care of my own sleep routine. Can I please just have a normal glass of water?" I took a deep breath and tried to explain
But she just smiled and said, "I'm just trying to help, sweetie. You need to take care of your body. Now, go ahead and finish your snack. And don't forget to drink your water."
The other day, I came home from work and she was in the living room, sipping on a protein shake. She looked up at me and said, "Okay, sweetie, I made you a healthy snack. You need to refuel after a long day at work." And she handed me a container of cottage cheese and fruit. I'm 25 years old
I was taken aback. "Uh, thanks, mom. But I'm good. I had lunch already." I tried to brush it off.
