my son is 13 years old and i go to the doctors with him. i have a big problem with needles, so i have to leave the room (feel weak, get panic attacks). if he wanted me to leave the room, i would!!!
if he was 15 years old i would let him go to the doctors by himself.
i try not to baby my son b/c he is the only child.
looking at the situation on another angle, you have to understand you are your mother's baby, and you always will be. we tend to have a problem with letting go.
talk to her and tell her what your comfortable with.
