It's been my observation loving mom's (as opposed to dipshit, neglectful ones) fall into two categories:
1. Too involved/too opinionated/too helpful.
2. Too quiet/can't pry an opinion out of them with a crowbar/let you stick your finger in the socket and then go "Hurts, don't it? You won't do that again, will you?"
The quiet ones are usually good listeners, though, advise you to use your best judgement, and usually don't make you feel like an idiot for the mistakes you make.
