Have any of you had a boss try to be your mom (or dad)?

Have any of you had a boss try to be your mom (or dad)?

I've had it happen time and again where the boss would get a little too involved. Before we assume that I'm not receptive to criticism or willing to form appropriate working relationships, I have had bosses overstep in this way. They will talk to me and treat me like one of their kids. It's really annoying and stressful now that I am on the older side. I do really well with a boss who mentors and guides me at work and has healthy boundaries and good ballance. I don't do well with one who constantly makes a big case of things I do. For instance, one made a big public deal of me going home on the tram, even though I grew up with public transportation. I understand that they are worried about my safety, but there is a WAY that you go about it. And it's not like I'm going sky diving, I'm literally just taking a tram which millions of people do. I don't like getting babied. I want to grow at my job and ideally have my experience appreciated and accepted! I already have a mom!

The reason I post this now is that the company is going through a transition where we will get all sorts of new management and this has been a recurring issue with this particular management style. I get along with most bosses and coworkers, but its always this type that gives me trouble. I mainly want to know for future reference. Please don't just say that I am worried about something that has not happened, because it happens alot! Also please don't remind me that they have good intentions, because the end result is not good. I don't want to be rude or disrespectful or tell them off unnecessarily, but how do I get them to back off?
