How do I respectfully ask my mother to stop embarassing me?

I love my mother with all my heart and because I have lived far from home for the past eight years, I thought it would be fun to send her an invitation to create a myspace profile. I envisioned being able to share my pictures and blogs with her and having her be part of the tiny friends list that I keep on the internet. To my surprise she got swept away with it (and is on it more than me). She has begun messaging friends of mine regarding their comments and over stepping certain boundaries with people in my life. I am 25 and a bit embarassed that my mother has taken it to such an extreme. My friends have forwarded me some of her messages asking me what to say and I have asked that they take her with a grain of salt and remain light hearted about it. However, I would like her to exercise a little more respect for me as an adult. She is extremely sensitive and blocking her or deleting her would hurt her. How can I gracefully put an end to this problem that I helped to create?

I try to use the 3 goods and 1 bad rule with my mom. For instance...

"Mom, I really like that we have a new way to connect with MySpace (#1). Your comments on my page are really great (#2), and I thought the pictures you sent me were hysterical (#3). I really want to share my life with you but please respect my boundries and direct your comments just to me.

Tell her that exactly

How do I respectfully ask my mother to stop embarassing me?

Tell her you invited her as a friend, not as a mother and that the things she is doing, one would not do to another friend and that its making your other friends uncomfortable.

If she refuses to hear you then delete her, she may be hurt but shes hurting you and you cant allow this to continue. Im all for giving people chances unless they refuse to listen to what I have to say and give me that respect.

Interesting that she embarrasses you, yet you worry about respecting her. Why were you separated for 8 years? Maybe that has something to do with it? I'd just be honest and tell her that what she's doing makes you uncomfortable
