Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : I'm a recently graduated college student and am taking two gap years to work at a hospital before applying to medical school. My mom and I have a great relationship, but lately she's been hanging out with these friends who have kids younger than me, who are pre-med and applying to colleges soon. These pre-med Nazi helicopter moms use her to finagle information about my GPA, MCAT score, awards, scholarships, research and other academic achievements.

Some context: When I was in 6th grade, my mom and I were at her friend's house, and I complained about my mom taking so long to take me home. One of her friend's son heard that, and told his mom, who proceeded to tell my mom's entire friend group that I was calling my mom "stupid and unintelligent", which is NOT true. My mom didn't go to college in order to raise me, and has always been a bit insecure about this, making the gossiping even more cruel. The gossiping was so bad that my mom had to cut off all ties with her friends and now its really hard for her to make new ones.

Recently some of these women have started asking my mom about college advice, since I got into a relatively good school and have some accomplishments that might seem impressive to some. My mom is nice so she tells them, but I hate that she does that. Those women hurt her, and she's still being nice to them and helpful, and they never even say thanks. What's worse is that they make my mom feel bad about not knowing more about my academic achievements, and manipulate her into telling them. They pressure her and don't listen when she speaks, and because she doesn't have too many friends, she goes along with it. They are all also college educated and work full-time so she respects them a lot, even if they have shitty personalities.

Am I the asshole for not wanting my mom to talk to them about me and refusing to tell my mom more about my academic life? That's kind of what these women do, one of them is a college counselor and so the whole friend group revolves about talking about that. I told my mom to talk about colleges and med school in general, but that my academics are personal and private. Is it wrong to want her to keep that info private, when I know she wants to make friends?
