Overprotective Mother Shows Up at Daughter’s Workplace in Tears After She Declines Her Calls and Refuses to Install Tracker on Phone

You'd think that when you become an adult, your parents wouldn't be as involved in your whereabouts. Back in the good old days, my strict parents made sure they knew where I was at all times. Tracker on phone? Check. But once I turned 18, they didn't have that power over me anymore. And honestly, they kind of let go a little. Maybe living apart did us some good. Now they're pretty chill.

But the woman in this story explained how her mother still wanted that power over her, even though she was close to 30 years old. The woman's mother was so overprotective that she demanded her daughter install a tracker on her phone. Again, the woman is almost 30. She does not need to give her mother her location, that's just absurd. But wait, it gets worse. Scroll down to read how. Then check out these super cool abandoned places that Redditors explored.
