Ok, so to make a long story short. I'm #1 in my class. I go to school at 7 and get home at 7 every day. My weekends are bogged down because I'm in all the choirs bands and other activities. I also try to keep up with my friends in my social life. I love my life. and I love my mother.

But...As soon as I walk in the door she is on my case telling me to do homework. I'm 17, I know when to work on things. I always turn my stuff in on time. She is flustered because I'm a morning person and I go to sleep early and wake up at 5 to do homework. She says ugh don't make me get up that early. So I set my alwarm and said you don't have to anymore. She won't budge. I thought this was a burden to her? Look, she is constantly nagging me to do stuff I am and always have done well and on time like homework. Do you think I'm right with my POV? Please don't say it's just a "mother" thing
 
I had a son like you and he was/is fabulous! Your mom's lucky.

The problem really isn't about you - it's about her needing to be needed. She may be doing it out of habit, too. She has some issues, but you sound pretty right on.

Good for you. Try to ignore her. At 17, you won't be at home much longer so try to let it go.

You're going to have a great life.
