This is just 1 example of her controllingness and it really annoys me. Reply to this Question

 How about you just take control of your life. You're 25! Fair enough, you care what your mum thinks of you and what she wants from you, but you can't follow what she says and wants from you all your life.
Just explain to your mum that you appreciate what she thinks and wants from you but you want her to take a step back and let you do what you think is best. If it goes wrong, then it goes wrong. But you know not to do it again.
Hope this helps xxx
