I think your mom is just worried about you, it's good that you told your mom. You are an adult and you are old enough to take care of yourself and make decisions but it's good to update or inform your love ones about what you're going to do because if something does happen they know where you are and could help you when in need. So I guess you are right in the sense that you are an adult, but your mom is right in the sense that she's your mom thats just looking out for you.
So, I want to know if I'm right or wrong, but I don't want to ask my friends because I don't want them to just say I'm right, and I don't want to ask my family because I feel like they’ll side with my mom. So, me — a 20-year-old girl — I work at an amusement center for kids. Today, while I was at work, I met a woman, a mother of three. She came up to me and asked, “Do you work as a nanny?” I told her yes, I used to be a nanny. She asked for my phone number, and I gave it to her.
After work, she asked if she could call me. She did. On the phone, she asked if I had any certificates — nanny training, babysitting, first aid. I gave her that information. Then she asked if I could come tomorrow — not even to work, just to meet her at 8 a.m. I said yes. We hung up, we agreed on that (we live 15min away, i checked).
Then I called my mom to tell her what happened. She said what I did was irresponsible because I didn’t take the time to ask her first, and because I don’t even know this woman. She said this person could kidnap me and sell me into human trafficking.
So I called the woman — the mom — back, and I asked if we could reschedule to noon instead of 8 a.m so that my mom can acompany me and check.
