4. Change the Subject
If your mom can’t help herself when it comes to certain topics, try to steer clear of subjects that she always seems to have an opinion about. There is nothing wrong with saying “I love you, but I’d like to talk about something else.” She should respect that and if she doesn’t, change the subject anyway. Simply thank your mother for her advice or suggestions on how to live your life, then move on to a different conversation. Hopefully, she won’t feel like she’s being ignored or dismissed and she’ll fall back when she gets the urge to meddle again.
