Drowning in good intentions

Yes, it is possible. Good intentions are not always good. Wanting the best for someone, and trying to do something to help them is not always helping them. If you have ever had a job that basically anyone with a car, a driver's license and a good sense of direction could do, you do not automatically know everything about everything that is important. And it is not useful to fill out every single housing application form "just in case". Just the ones that apply to the situation, and to find out which ones do apply, they must be read. Not just randomly picked up, and taken home because it says "BC Housing" on the top of the first page.
I have been drowning in the good intentions of a few of my family members. Most notably, my mother and one of my sisters. How do I get them to stop? How do I get them to see that I do not need them to hover? How do I get them to see that this is smothering me?
