How can I get my mom to stop babying me, I'm 14 years old?
I'm 14 and started grade 9. Last friday of school and it was one of the school wide fieldtrips for our garde so we went to the waterslides for the whole day we got a form like a week before we went. i had to wake up real early on friday morning at 6;30 cuz the bus leaves early i was real tired and my mom told me to come into her room and there was this huge bottle of sunscreen on her dresser and she told me to take off my shirt so i did then she got the sunscreen and put it on my face then i had to stick out each arm for her to lather then I had to lift my leg up on the edge of the bed to get lathered all the way down to my feet and it took at leest 5 minutes and she put on way to much u can see it on my arms and legs still and i looked like a snowman. i told i could do it myself but shes just like thats my job i could easily do it myself but she said shes gona do it for me until im SIXTEEN. i dont have any siblings my mom is a long fitness insturctor and beauty consultant person so also and she always puts cream on her face before she goes to bed then calls me in to her room and she puts it on my face too and it gets annoying cuz thats for girls only.
its so emberasing on the bus everyone else in my class had sunscreen on to but they all put it on themselves or said they do themselves and im the only 1 who my mom does it for me but i also said i do it myself…Y is my mom the only one like this when everyone else in my class does it themself and i have to wait untl im 16? i want to know from parents that im too old for her doing that to me?
my mom says ther is skin cancer in our family her sister died of it but i can stil do it myself…im the only 1 its not fair. no other mom does this
and no every1 in my class already had it on no1 put it on when we got to the watersliders everyone smelld like sunscreen and every1 looked shiny when we all met at the class to go on the bus. no other mom dose this! (I live in Australia BTW

Understandably, your mum's probably a little paranoid about the skin cancer thing- it has nothing to do with you being a baby. As for the other kids, their mums most definitely do things for them that they can do themselves- like make them lunch or help them do their hair. Of course they'll not talk about it, but it's nothing to be ashamed of. Anyway what I'm saying is your mum knows you are old enough but she wants to look after you while you are still young enough to let her. You are her child after all.Advice: if you really can't stand her doing things like your sunscreen, try asking her if you can do it yourself while she watches. That way she can tell you if you're doing it wrong or if you've missed a spot. She won't be doing it for you, but she'll still feel she has control over how you do it.
What is wrong with your mother putting the sunscreen on you? If you want to talk about being babied, spend a day with me and my Special Olympic athletes I coach. I have one athlete who is babied so bad by his parents it's pathetic, and he is 21!
Trust me I KNOW that about HALF the other ppl in your class did not put it on on their own. They are just saying that to not look silly in front of their other classmates and (the boys only) to raise their testosterone level.
you are your mums only child and when you start doing these things on your own she feels that you are growing up and shes not wanting to accpet it as your as she sees it her 'baby'. Another thing if you are very recklace (sunscreen) then your mum is just doing as she sees right. Source(s): expienrce i watched my aunt baby my cousin and i helped her get over it
Dude just enjoy all the free help while you can. Just wait until your parents don't want to help you with anything. Responsibility is a double edged sword.
She's clearly paranoid and worried that you're not putting it on properly and might get burnt. Just tell her you really want to do it yourself, and whenever she calls you into her room, just ignore her and tell her you're going to school and will put it on yourself.
