You've lived with it this long...there is a light at the end of the tunnel! I have a 14 year old daughter. If she's not looking for trouble, it finds her... Your mom is just doing what she feels is best for you. It bothers you now, but you will thank her someday.

I'm sort-of guessing here, because I don't know either of you. First off, don't be defensive. That will only make her think you've got something to hide. I would sit down and talk to her. Important: do not get defensive. Ask her why it so important that she knows so much. What is she worried about. Then the two of you think up some ideas that would give her enough info not to worry, but not be a burden for you. (Maybe tell her where you're going and call when you get there ...). It's very likely she'll get defensive, let her. Make sure YOU don't get defensive. Don't expect magic. Just keep asking and not judging. Don't agree, yet, but DO NOT ARGUE.
