My Mum Is Really Irritating Me

Arghhhhh need somewhere to vent this!

I am 18 years old, at school, and still living at home, although that could soon change! My parents are separated and i live with my mum, still see my dad regularly though.

Essentially, she still treats me like i am a little kid, talks about me on the phone to her friends (Which might i add i passionately hate! She wouldn't do it to her sister if she was in the room would she :rolleyes:) Every time i go out (which isnt exactly regularly... read on) she is always on the phone to me checking, then whenever i come in (often only at about 11pm) she goes into this big spiel of something bad could have happened etc. And its aggressive, not as though she actually seems that bothered.

Also, my job involves travelling around kent and arriving in at 2-3am (i am a roadie for a comedy duo) and because she doesnt like driving she tries to restrict me from doing it, i swear she is only in this to take away any freedom i have, and to be honest it is p*ssing me off.

I have had the option of moving in with my dad and his new girlfriend, to be honest i think it would be much better there as he actually treats me like an adult!

Sorry for the long post, but what to do!
