Relationship with daughter

Hi dear its saying that daughters are best friend to mother, and when u have less age differnce i mean 30-22 yrs then u r morwe like sisters than mother and daughters and its really good, it give confidence to daughter and both can share things keep it up

I didn't have a great relationship with my mother especially when I was a teenager. Our opinions always clashed. I now understand what my mother said then but I still don't think it was right.....more so, the way she said it. I actually had a wonderful relationship with my dad and he was my friend. I have two sons and I bond very well with my older son (who is 7.5 years old) and we have a wonderful relationship.

its really nice to hear. ideally all mothers should have this healthy relationship with daughters. most of the times they do not have this. so there are oproblems. its also good the generation gap can be evaded.

You are adopting the right approach. You mingling up with your daughter and sharing her joys and sorrows and narrating your own experiences would have given her lot of self-confidence and she would be mature enough to understand the intricacies of life. When our kids become teenagers and turn sixteen, they should be treated as our friends. If we treat them as friends, hopefully they will not shy away from us to discuss their opinions and problems. I follow the same approach and give them ample opportunity to express themselves and share their problems and doubts with me. Good Post!!I

Yes I have the same relationship with my daughter that you have with yours, my friend does not have that with her daughter infact they always seem to be jealous of each other and cant stand each other, I find that hard to understand I could never be jealous of my daughter I wish only the best for her. I was okay with my own mum but not as close as myself and my daughter.

well friend i think you are very lucky to have a daughter like that.Infact i personally think that girls are more attached to their moms as they grow up.I also wish that some day when my daughter grows up she would also be of such understanding nature. all the best have a nice day.....

Hi Mayka, I have seen many such kind of relationship and I think it is really good. In case of daughters they really need a healthy relationship with their mother so that they can discuss each and everything, otherwise we won't understand when they face any problem. It is possible only when the mother is ready to treat her daughter as her friend. For that she should be broad minded and have an understanding nature. I really appreciate your nature and happy to know about your healthy relation with your daughter. For me, my mother passed away before two years. I was attached to her but I could not treated her like a friend, as you explained. Secondly, as you know, unfortunately I don't have a daughter. Enjoy your life with your daughter. All the best to both of you.
