YES! My mom will NOT let me do it on my own, and I'm 22! It bugs the living daylights out of me and I let her know it but she keeps going!!! I've even gone on trips (away from Her) and came back in better condition than when I left but she won't take that as "proof." Of course I am hard-headed and, when I was a teenager, I had the typical power struggle with my parents and wouldn't do it "just because they told me to" - this is not a good approach to take, by the way. You don't earn their trust or control of your big D that way.
She will probably not let up for a while for the reasons described by the other posters but she will be better if you do show her you're in control of it - not just for a short time.
