I have the nicest mom, but she doesn't want me to have a boyfriend.

okay so im 18 years old. A first year college student..
my problem is that my mom doesn't want me to have a boyfriend till I finish school. I think my dad's kinda cool with it cause he says that I am an adult now. But I don't get to talk to him much often beacuse he works far from home.
So my boyfriend and I (though my mom thinks that he's just courting me) had to break up due to what had happened. I think she doesn't like my bf cause she calls me cheap and easy whenever we go out. she doesn't like him cause she thinks he's poor and not good enough for me.

My mom always compares herself to me she said that she only had a bf when she was 21yo. My dad says she's a little old school. She also always tells me not to trust people especially guys so easily cause they'll just hurt me in the end. I wonder if some guy hurt her in the past hmm... She tells me that she's only protecting me from myself. She doesn't want me to make mistakes like my pther cousins who got married early due to pregnancy. I understand her, but is she being to protective? I am so not happy right now. I don't know what to do. advice anyone? does this sound like a rant?

the situation sounds understandable from all perspectives. You mom calling you names is not cool though. That's immature. Sounds like she has trouble expressing how she feels and she probably gets frustrated when she can't control you now that you're 18.

My advice would be to just be patient. Show your mom that you are responsible and can handle school and a boyfriend without failing out or getting pregnant. In the end she's only being this way because she thinks she's protecting you.
