dealing with nosey mom

[twirlgurl]

ok so my mom is SO nosey about everything. She reads my emails if i leave my puter on, she checks my texts on my phone, reads notes at school. its so annoying!! She probably read my whole entire diary but wont admit it.

So how do you deal with nosey parents? I cant talk back cause then i get punished and i cant lock stuff up cause shes like "why is this locked??"

help!

To be honest, the only possible way to tiptoe around is to be careful. Don't leave your computer on, find a way to hide your diary, don't send any questionable texts to questionable numbers. You just need to be careful with whats out in the open and what is said/written/typed, otherwise you give your parents something to ask you about. And i doubt thats something you'd want.

tell her what you think and if she wont stop just be clever and hide things like write backwards and she carnt read it but if you hold it infront of a mirror and read it, it will make sense. like llab infront of a mirror is ball.

this. you can try talking to her, but some parents are just like that sadly. unless you have done something to lose her trust, which that would make sense too

use like incognito mode on your browser so that it never saves anything and keep an online diary so your mom can't read it. plus if you close the window she can't read anything you do online

My mother has done the same thing to me. She hovered over my shoulder whenever online.Drove my crazy till one day I decided to have a chat and tell her how I felt.We sat down and talked it out about trusting me and my decisions that I make during life. It helped and trusts me completely and let me move my computer in my room. I believed that talking things out with her may help. Be truthful and honest and tell her how you feel and that you want your space. I hope this helps.

my mother does the same thing to me sometimes (well mostly always). i think the best thing to do is to have a relative - for me its my uncle who is younger - talk to her about it. if you don't have a relative then anyone that your mother respects will do. have them explain to her that she's got to respect your privacy. you should also try telling her yourself like Beth said. i sometimes tell my mom that she needs to give me more privacy and it usually works for a few days. good luck

None can beat my mom...Her nosyness is manfested in her invasive actions...she does really embarrasing stuff ..but she may mean well...and I love her
1) If I fall asleep in a friends/cousinsour house she casually takes my pants off leaving me just in my briefs...Even in the mid of a group with girls!!!-did this till I was 14.

2) If I get a stomach ache in car she gets me to take my pants off and sit on a plastic pad in my briefs just in case I have a poo accident ..with older girl cousins who ride with us...this was embarrassing ......but in 2-3 occasions I had actual poo accidents and this saved my pants.

3) When I fall asleep in my room she takes my pants off then if she finds my undies dirty she takes them off too..and won't care to close the door. I am in full display to my sisters + cousins who live close by and drop on& off.

4) Since putting on sm weight after being skinny all my life she frequently brings this up in conversations infront of me..with freinds/relaitns. She'd go on about how skinny I used to be, how cute I look now and that I'd probably get fat in college like my dad...It is soo embarrassing I get red in face.

These are done good naturedly but are embarrsing to a teen guy...she won't get it at all.

The way to deal with this problem is not to just avoid but to actually face it head on. Let her know what's wrong and what you want. Don't play the blame game, and just set it out. Tell her "Mum, I understand that you want to make sure I'm okay, but can you please stop going through all my xxx. I'm a teenager and I want my own sense of privacy."
Try not to be angry and stay calm about the situation. Alternatively, if you don't feel brave enough to confront her, write a note and pass it to her before you go to school or something. That way, you can allow her to think about it and same with you, because she will still want to talk to you (most likely).

Good luck with everything~ I wish you the best :D
