To be honest say ok and call her out and say you are an adult and you want to be treated as such

okay, I've tried that and I don't get a good response. She says "she'll treat me like one when I act like one."

You teach people how to treat you. You can't accept that because at your age this becomes abusive behavior. I've been looker dead in the eyes and say I wouldn't do that if I were you.
