I'm 25yrs old and still have helicopter parents. Today my mother called and we got in a bit of a disagreement because I don't want to take a job opportunity that doesn't interest me at all. She sighs and tells me she's pushing these jobs my way because she loves me and she wants the best for me etc. I tell her that I appreciate the offers but what she finds is boring to me and I don't want them. She gets irritated and says that she pushes me because she wants what's best for me and that if she didn't push me that I wouldn't have done certain things like graduate from college on time. I told her that's BS because I took 18 to 20 credits a semester, I was the one who studied, I was the one not sleeping because of stress not her and she hung up on me cause I stood up for myself.

It's irritating to think that she credits all my hard work in college to herself when I DID ALL THE DANG WORK not her. And she was there for all of it. All the struggles and late nights. So I think I'm gonna pull back from her because she's in the wrong and I don't feel like I need to apologize.
