Shadowing

That is what people do when they get to a new job...they follow people around and learn new skills, well some jobs that is, not all jobs have shadowing obviously. But even though I am not working, I feel like I am being shadowed.
My mom follows me everywhere, if I go outside, she will come with me, if I get a text, she wants to know who is writing to me and what. If I am online, she will come into the room and sit behind me on the couch and just watch me. Sometimes, she can just follow me without saying anything, other times she likes to let her opinion be known.
I know she really missed me over the last few years, and for awhile what she does is quite amusing, but after about 2 days of that it gets more annoying than anything. I sometimes go into my room and close the door, but don't worry, my mom knows how to open doors, she marches in and starts either talking to me about nothing or just watching me without saying a word. Now, I do get a break from my mom. She does work, but her work schedule actually does not let me have much breathing room, she gets to work at 7 am, but she is back home around 11 am. I spend most of that time sleeping :) But when my mom is cooking or washing dishes I get some time alone, although there is no guarantee that my dad won't come in to socialize with me then.

I am not really complaining, I think it's funny that they do that, and they clearly don't get enough time with me, it's just that I feel like I am being followed everywhere, all my moves are noticed. My mom knows exactly when Matt is online, when my sister is online, she usually knows who I chat with, or who I call. I find it easier just to answer her, and she seems to be pretty happy that I do answer, then she feels involved. But I do hope that they will get fed up with me soon and leave me alone more often ))))
