"They're Your Friends, Really!"

Charlotte Pinto, 27, secretary says, "I am afraid to invite my friends over because once they leave, mum will comment on each of them. I just wish that she would accept the fact that they are my friends and let them be."

Dr. Ketan Parmar says, "Mothers are over protective and this comes down to her having no confidence in her own child. She is insecure about her child and she should talk to her own daughter. The mother is probably worried about her friend who may smoke or drink and that is why she criticises her friends."

Talk to Mum: This is one of the most common complaints that women have. Your mum may feel the need to comment on your friends (especially your guy friends) convinced that they may spoil you in some way.

A good way to have your mum believe in your friends is by explaining to her that they are good friends. In fact after that have them over for a meal so that she can see for herself that they will do you no harm.

Don't Worry Mummy

An over protective mother can be irritating but remember that she is doing all this in your best interest. The best way to sought things out is by talking to your mother, very gently.

Dr. Nirmala Rao says, "Besides just talking to your mother it depends on what sort of a relationship you have with your mother."

If you share a great rapport with her and you two are friends then talking to her will be easy. But in case you two do not share a smooth relationship then be very gentle when talking to her. She may probably snap back when you talk to her but you maintain your gentle tone.

Talk to your mother and reassure her that no matter what, she will always be an important part of your life.
