My Mom Treats me like a Baby

Let me explain... I'm sixteen, and while part of this mother-son relationship is fine, parts of this aren't. She still has me sit in a booster seat in the car. She still makes me wear diapers. I peed myself a while back, and she will not let it go. Swim diapers are included. She changes me in the public restrooms and at home. She makes me wear swim floaties at the public pool. My mom is still cutting my food. 'Knifes are dangerous' she says. Lastly, she still has the parental controls on the TV. She does not let me see any movies past the rating PG. That last one is an extreme example, but you get the drift.

Here's the thing, it's not all bad. She lets me drive and hangout with friends, (even though I have to text update her every 30 minutes). I can’t stay out as late as I'd like. The hours I'm suggesting are reasonable. The rest of our relationship is normal. At least she doesn't mention the embarrassing things she does with me to my friends. Thank goodness.

Am I crazy, or is my Mother the issue here? I know people have questions. Ask Me Anything.
