a mother hen
A person who looks out for the welfare of others, especially to a fussy, intrusive, or overprotective degree. Jenny can be a bit of a mother hen when we're out at the bars. I wish she would just relax a little and let us have a good time!My dad is pretty relaxed about most things, but he can be a bit of a mother hen when it comes to who I hang out with.
