"It's MY LIFE"...

Emancipate her and cut your losses. She wants to pay her own way, fine, you have two other children with a chance at making something of themselves. Of course Taylor will probably be knocked up in a year by an unknown guy at a "party" and the boy will end up a cheating psychopath like his Father. Better idea, take em all swimming in a burlap bag full of rocks and save society from having to deal with your pathetic spawn...

That's what annoys me so much. She's all about telling people they should stay out of her business but fails to do so herself.
Taylor doesn't want to tell Max what happened at the college party? "I think he'd want to know." Yeah, like your mother would want to know that you spend time at Lori's, work in a bar, have an older boyfriend etc.
Elizabeth shows up at Lori's when Carter is there? "Did you follow me?" You mean like you followed Ben, spying on him?
Also visiting Jared's ex and trying to get a look at the court files seems to be ok because Jared lied to her. But anytime Elizabeth acts concerned after being lied to countless times Carter gets defensive. 

I've seen several posts with people insisting that Carter is the most mature person on the show.
I don't see it.
Mature people don't stomp their feet and run off every time they don't get their way.
Mature people don't run around doing whatever they want and not caring that they're hurting the people they claim to love.
Mature people don't blame others when they get caught lying.
