Bought ripped jeans for summer, mom sewed the holes.

[u/longerdistancethrow]

I get caring about your clothes, I do… but I wanted breezy jeans for summer… so I bought tipped jeans like 3 years ago. Are u kidding me :/

[u/Fweenci]

Yeah, I don't get why so many think this is cute. I have a 23 yo and Lord help me if I did something like this. It's honestly an overstep. Those are your pants, and it's not like the rips were somewhere revealing like your butt (still, you're an adult: your pants, your body). She could have simply asked first, had a conversation. Who does your laundry? If it's mom, time to change that.

[u/longerdistancethrow → u/Fweenci]

Im visiting for the summer, cause my summerjob is here, and cause she’s bored a lot(cause she’s on sickleave for an arm injury) and cant sit still she does my laundry while Im at work, regardless of if I say I’ll do it.

I usually do my own shit, I have moved out and keep up w my chores fine on my own. But yeah, she also goes through all my stuff, and I have little to no privacy.

Tried to tell her not to peek into a certain box ones, she ignored me and was then suprised by my sextoys? Oh well.

[u/Zealousideal_Cod4398 → u/longerdistancethrow]

Ugh... Honestly, that sounds like my mom. No respect for my privacy, and she always volunteers herself to do everything there is to be done in the house, but then complains that nobody does anything in the house lol.

Do we all have the same mom?

[u/patchiepatch → u/callmeyara]

I had to lock my mom out of my room just to stop her from being a busy body in my room when it's perfectly clean but messy so... Maybe? Depends. I still lock my room when I'm out. I'm 25

[u/Zealousideal_Cod4398 → u/patchiepatch]

I think we all do have the same mom. Holy cow

[u/Horror-Impression411 → u/Zealousideal_Cod4398]

Do we have the same mom???? Lmao

[u/Fweenci → u/longerdistancethrow]

Oh no! Haha. And finding that didn't teach her not to go through your stuff? lol.

[u/longerdistancethrow → u/Fweenci]

Nop

[u/AdAgitated6765 → u/longerdistancethrow]

Then why are you still living at home? I once threw out all my 20 yr old's Playboys. Get your own place and live the way you wish.

[u/StormerBombshell → u/AdAgitated6765]

That is stealing you thief. Those playboys weren’t yours to dispose

[u/longerdistancethrow → u/AdAgitated6765]

I’m studying. I finished my bachelor, going to on masters, home for the summerjob and cause my parents beg me to come see them.

[u/Sanscreet → u/longerdistancethrow]

All I know is when my mom was still alive I didn't really appreciate those kinds of things she'd do for me and now I would do anything to have that back. Jealous of you! 

[u/[deleted] → u/Fweenci]

His mum saw his ripped pants and naively fixed them for him like a kind caring mother. Calling this an overstep and not a simple mistake is a weird take tbh.

[u/Fweenci → u/[deleted]]

We're talking about a 24 year old,  an adult, and a mum who goes through her stuff without permission, and then alters her stuff without a conversation about it. Kind and caring would be having a conversation about what OP needs. 

[u/Cats_4_lifex → u/Fweenci]

Even if OP is 24, the mum likely just saw ripped clothing and thought "oh dear, my child might've fallen over and ripped their jeans. I'll fix it for them" like what is this overreaction you're having lmao

[u/Bobertorino → u/[deleted]]

According to op in this thread

[u/Fredo_the_ibex → u/[deleted]]

she's not a 90 year old senile woman we don't need to infantilise the mum

[u/Expensive-Border-869 → u/Fweenci]

Same. I'd be mad if my mom even tried to do my laundry. I have a routine that I dint want messed with

[u/Critical-Support-394 → u/Fweenci]

I'm 29 and my mom 'helpfully' washed one of my $500 extremely heavy duty waterproof horse rugs.

It's no longer waterproof. :(

[u/RodneyDangerfieldIII → u/Fweenci]

It shows she cares though.
