'How dare you make my son work past office hours?': 30-year-old employee's mom won't stop calling him at work, he finally stands up for himself after she demands to speak to his boss

If you've never dealt with an overprotective mom who needs to know what you're doing every second of the day, consider yourself lucky. It's bad enough for kids these days, with parents tracking their locations through phone apps. Back in the day, all your mom cared about was you making it home by curfew, not checking your exact coordinates every hour. Unfortunately for this guy, the helicopter parenting didn't stop just because he grew up. His mom didn't just track his location; she actually called him every 30 minutes to demand a rundown of what he was doing. Yes, even at work.

His boss started to notice something was off, but nothing could've prepared him for the day the employee's mom demanded to speak with him directly, furious that her 30-year-old son was staying late. The boss took the call out of sheer disbelief, but then quickly found himself silently cheering after his employee took the phone back and finally stood up to his mom once and for all.
