Kids: Today, I found my mother wandering the halls of my fraternity...

By PetitPrincePerdu - 08/05/2009 00:42 - United States

Today, I found my mother wandering the halls of my fraternity unescorted and asked why she was here, she told me she was concerned when I didn't pick up my phone for two days. She then informed me that she had also moved to the same city I live in. My mother moved over 600 miles to stalk me. FML

Today, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML

Today, my mother panicked and was about to report me missing when I didn't answer her calls while I was at a movie. I'm 31, and have lived on my own for over 10 years. FML

Today, my paranoid wreck of a girlfriend read a text message on my phone from a woman asking if I was coming over for dinner. The woman was my mom. My girlfriend stormed out and hasn't answered my calls all day. FML

WTF mom?

Today, I came home at 1 am to find my mom sitting on my couch, ranting about how I'm not supposed to stay up this late. I'm 26 and I don't know how she got into my house. FML

Today, I found out that my mother has been telling several people that my fiancé and I will be moving into her house for the foreseeable future. All because we're moving to a city close by for jobs and are still searching for housing. I found this out from several of the people she told. FML

Control

Today, I moved out of my parents' house and started living alone. All of a sudden, my parents started requiring me to text or call them every 5 minutes to tell them where I am and what I'm doing, from 6am to 12am every day. If I don't, they will go looking for me, and force me to move back in with them. FML

Today, I got home and once again my mom started shouting at me for ignoring her and never visiting. For context, I moved from London to Yorkshire to escape the evil cow. She not only found me, she bought the house next door to mine and moved in. I can’t afford to move again any time soon. FML

Today, even though I was very clear before I went on holiday that I was going completely zero contact to de-stress, my mother rang at least twice a day. When I stopped answering the phone, she found the direct number of the local police station in a foreign country and sent them to find me. FML

Today, I was talking to my mom about how my fiancé has been ignoring me and that I didn't know why. Turns out, my mother told him that I was too much of a handful, was mentally disturbed and also cheating on him. Just so I wouldn't move out and would keep cleaning her house for free. FML

Today, I tried calling my son yet again, and got no response. I've been calling him for days. I'm worried out of my mind and I'm going to move 600 miles to be with him. FML

You couldn't call her back after your hangover ended?

Maybe you could buy her a cat or a puppy because she's obviously crazy lonely.

Aww, I feel so terribly sorry for your mom. She has so much time and so little going on in her life that she would move to be near you? I'd hate to be so very lonely when I'm older... Getting her a puppy is a good idea. Even better would be getting her a boyfriend, but I guess that's up to her.

To all those people saying YDI because he should have called.....think about it. He's a COLLEGE kid who didn't contact his mother for two days. He's a grown-up with his own life and she needs to let him go. Not to mention it is the end of the school year now so he's probably very busy with finals and papers.I can understand her concerrn but moving 600 miles to where he lives in two days because he hasn't called her is ludicrous.

Apply to a new college. She's missing the point of growing up and having separation from parental influence/control. Have a chat with her.

Come on guys- everyone's saying he's excused from not answering his mom because he's in college? Yeah, you might be busy in college but seriously... You have way more down time than in high school. You might choose to use that for studying or partying, but the OP almost certainly could have spared 10 minutes to talk to his mom on the phone. Sorry, OP, your mom is pretty psycho for moving 600 miles to be closer to you, but YDI. (especially if she's paying for your college)
