Whenever I'm on my phone texting my mom is always asking "who's that". She does it even when I'm not texting people and I'm just playing a game or something. Earlier she did this to me again. I'm sitting at my desk and she comes in to show me something and I was texting a friend from work about the schedule.
This time she didn't even bother asking who I was talking to, as she's walking away she's like "who's Chelsea?". Now she's getting so nosy that she has to look over my shoulder at my phone to see who I'm talking to.
I don't understand why she does this, I don't ask her when she's texting someone. I think now I'm going to start asking everytime I see her texting. She either won't care or she will care and ask why I keep asking. I'm hoping she asks why because I'll let her know that it's exactly what she does to me lol. I've even noticed she does the same thing to my dad. She won't always directly ask who he's texting but she'll ask him questions that hint that she wants to know. When she does this I feel like telling her to stop beating around the bush and just ask him already lol.
Does it annoy you when people constantly ask who you're texting?

That is really rude of her. No one asks who I am textign so no I don't get annoyed. Lucky for me. I can somewhat understand parents being over protective of children or something like that but some times they do cross the line, like this.

I'm 20 years old and she still has to ask who I'm talking to or even go as far as she did tonight by looking over my shoulder. So like I said, I'm going to ask her who she's texting every time I see her on her cell phone. I'm hoping she gets annoyed and says something. If she does then I'd tell her that she asks me all the time lol

I wonder if she might start to get the hint when you start asking her. Some parents won't and then they don't care if they do get the hint. 
Maybe we should just tell them to back off and be done with it?@courtknee525 (3742)

Lol I hope she does get the hint. For some reason she'll always tell me when she's annoyed by something I do but I notice that she does the same exact thing that she told me annoys her.
I remember one time I was drinking a glass of milk and she was annoyed at the gulping sound. She does the same thing when she drinks too! Her and my dad have both told me not to do something because it annoys them but then they go around and do the same thing.

Do you talk to your Mom or have you stopped talking to her as much? Maybe she feels like you guys aren't connecting as much since you are busy with school and work so she is looking for an "in" and just choosing a poor way of communicating. I could be wrong, just an idea. When my son had a phone I would annoy him sometimes about who he texting, but he is only 13 and not trustworthy (which is why he no longer has a phone lol).

We talk occasionally but she annoys me so I try to avoid it as much as possible. She does the same thing with my dad and will always ask who he's texting as well. I don't think she does it to start up a conversation lol.
I could understand if I was younger. I think you have every right to ask your son who he's texting. He's still young and he's just getting into his teenage years and you're just trying to look out for him. BUt I'm 20 and my mom still does this to me. Lol and she also has me text her whenever I leave home and get to the place I'm going.

I think that Mums are only nosy because they care about you and don't want you getting into any trouble. When I was younger and first started going out with my friends after school, my Mum would call me a lot asking me who I was with, where I was planning to go, and what time I would be back home. It suffocated me a little bit and I had to tell her in the end that I would very much prefer it if she stopped, because I was feeling as though it was having a negative effect on our relationship and I didn't want that to happen at all.

Probably. But I hardly ever go anywhere I do things besides work so I don't understand why she has to be so nosy about my phone. The thing that really bothered me was that she did it over my shoulder and looked at my phone.

I have a couple obvious questions, 1. Does she pay for it? 2. do you live with her? If so she kind of has the right to question you, especially if she pays the bill. If not then just be honest and tell her, and say something like "mom I think it's rude and obtrusive when you ask me about whom I am texting", you said in a comment that you two don't really talk, maybe look inside your self and ask why that is. If it really bugs you that badly let her know, in a nice, polite way of course. To me it sounds like you are just being a brat, you just come off that way to me, and you want to do the same thing to her? If you are going to act like a child you deserve to be treating like one.
