All you need to do is agree with her, and avoid her as much as possible. If you rely on her for money, or shelter, or meals, stop it. If you want to be respected, then you must be independent.
First off. How I'm am immature?

Second off, did I say I rely on her for money?

Treating an 7 year old as a 7 year old is one thing , but treating an 20, 30 or 40 year old as a 7 year old?

That's bad. And it will cause your "child" to get a way from you and just see you as a person that has problems.

Or you can stop trying to prove anything to her. I'm 27, my mother and I have been at each others throats since I was a teen. I went through a spell for a several years where I just stopping trying to get along. Now we've reconnected as adults and it isn't so bad.

It's possible that since you say you haven't been around her much while growing up, she really doesn't know how to relate to you as anything but a child. In some weird way she seems like she's trying to assert her authority over you.

She can't engage you if you don't take her bait. Ignore her comments.

Besides that, let's say if there's something that has to be done and when she's around and I make a good suggestion or idea, shell criticize that and fuss about it like it's stupid. If someone said the same thing what I said, shell listen. Or shell act like she knows everything. She basically wants to be the the know-it-all-because-I'm-mother-and-older person.

Do you really want a relationship with her? She doesn't sound like a pleasant person to spend time with. Why don't you just tell her that when she's ready to treat you like an adult, she knows where to find you.
