My mother is furious that I stay up late talking to a guy I like?

Respect the rules of your mom's home. She's furious because instead of you talking at a reasonable time, you're talking to him late and it's probably not appropriate talks for her ears. Your mother is not trying to control you. She is telling you to have your priorities straight and not be in la-la land basically over a guy. Because once you start that up and it doesn't end well, you will be crying the blues over him and guess who has to hear it? Your mother. Right now you dating or being interested in it may not be the best time now. But if you're going to speak to him, do so at a reasonable time that isn't so late. You are losing your sleep over him. Not good for your health either.

I don't understand why that bothers your mother at all. Talking on the phone with a guy is much better than being out with him. You're still in the house, safe and sound. She's definitely being overly controlling. And she's treating you like much younger than you are. This is the type of thing parents would be upset about with a middle-schooler or high-schooler.

I can't understand her reasoning behind that. It's not right for her to hold you back so much. It's healthy and normal for someone your age to be trying to find the right guy. Surely your mom doesn't expect you to stay single forever? Her behavior seems really strange to me.

Yeah you losing some sleep over a guy is your choice and not hers. I don't know your relationship and I don't feel like it's good for me to give advice only thing I can say is that if it's possible to have a talk and try and get her reasoning and then you could better understand or see if it's still bullshit.

Continue talking with him if you like him and I hope it will turn out good for you.

ignore her, some parents come from a different upbringing that makes them narrow minded and views things differently. unfortunately, since you're probably living under her roof you can't do nothing about it.

You're 19. You're legally an adult. You can talk to people if you want. Maybe she is upset she has little control over you now that you're grown, my mom struggled with that as well and it caused a big battle over boundaries. Well, I finally won the battle in the end. Be respectful, but firm.

Tell her you're a grown woman and she's being ridiculous.
