Everybody learns their life lessons at different times in their lives. But it can be a little disconcerting when your mom, with 20+ years on you, _still_ hasn't learned some of the basics.
Like everybody else, some thing she just has to learn by herself; nothing else you can do. And if you come on heavy about it, she'll just dig her feet in and get even more stubborn abou it. Yeah, it's the parent/teenager thing, only _you're_ the parent. So like I said, let her find out for herself, because she doesn't want to be taught.
