Disrespectful Parents?
I've noticed that as the years go on, my mom is becoming more and more of a.. Well.. *****. Ever since I can remember, she has been telling me and my friends what to do, which sounds normal, but this is really an extreme extent. For example, she will tell my friends and I to walk the dog or I have to leave. But as time passed and I started gaining friends through middle school, she started to discriminate between my "good" friends, and "bad" friends based on economic class, grades, and other such things. I remember once she said, "only child's are weird, stop talking to Billy". Also over the summer, I took a drivers Ed class with my friend who's parents work during the day, and she wouldn't give him a ride home even if he had soccer practice in an hour because "there were groceries in the back", we suspect she hates him because she won't let us hangout for more than an hour. In fact, people have directly told me they don't want to hang out with me at my home anymore because my mom makes they feel unwanted. I've discussed this with my brother, and the same thing happens. Every time my friends ask me why my mom hates them, I really can't give them an answer. Please help, what should I do, am I just over reacting?

Ever ask your mom why she's so controlling? Ask her if she loves you and cares enough to let you grown on your own without her creeping on every detail about your life. otherwise, i suggest going to your school shrink and have them do the dirty work by having them tell your mom she's a control freak and that you guys need counseling.
Honestly, you're making a big deal out of nothing. You should just stop bringing people over and just go over to theirs. I mean I guess you could just talk to her about it. She's just trying to be a mom.
Bit one sided question. You are just an innocent bystander, right? NOTE: Respect is earned, for you and all your friends. If ma is controlling she is controlling, and nothing you or your friends can do, will chance any of that. Her house, her rules. Eighteen (?), move out......
Peace.
She could have had a bad experience with friends at your age and is now overprotective.
Quit bringing friends home.
Overreacting...
