Can’t make my own decisions even at almost thirty

So I, a woman, have always been hairy. Even since I turned 12, I have had a mustache and monobrow I had to wax, because my mom was anti razors.

She thinks they’ll cause the hairs to get thicker even if I showed her it’s not true, she simply won’t believe it. Anyway. I stopped waxing at like age 20 and have been shaving it every few days when it grows back a bit and it’s been way easier for me.

A few days ago I forgot to shave it and went to see my mom and she saw the hairs and freaked out on me “you have a MUSTACHE??!!?!” and “ARE YOU SHAVING IT ??!!!” so I explained yes I just forgot.

Now she won’t let this go and even called me at 9 am because she needed to talk to me and… it was about my mustache and how I must stop shaving it and go get it LASERED? I don’t care, I don’t want to, she offered to pay, I still don’t want to and I said I can make my own decisions about my body and she said when I’ll be a mother I’ll understand and my problems are also her problems (her words).

She also does this with my hair, she hates my natural dark color, wants me to get highlights, claims it’s to “help” me. Or says I can’t wear sneakers or low waisted pants because I’m short and they make me look shorter so obviously that’s ugly (to her and the whole entire world). I’m so tired
