So I'm gonna make this quick. My mom keeps trying to force me to go to church. For reference, I'm 19 years old, in college, and live at home. I've been away from church from the past month mainly because I like just being home on the weekends, and catching up on homework, studying, sleep, or TV. My mom is trying to force me to go again. The only sold reason she can give me is that, people at church keep asking about me, and she can't keep lying for me. I never told her to. Me resting at home is the truth. I couldn't give two shits about people at church, they don't pay my tuition bill and neither does my mom. So as far as I'm concerned, I should be the one calling the shots. How do I get my mom to just leave me be? Thanks.

It is hard for some parents to cut the apron strings and realize there little one is now a full grown adult. In you moms eyes you will always be her little boy. Sit down with mom and explain to her your an adult now capable of making your own decisions. Tell her to tell her friends at church that the weekends are your only time to catch up with school work and sleep. If they can't accept that its not her fault. Tell her you will attend church with her when you have the time and that nagging or trying to force you is not helpful. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
