i use to not be when i was younger but now she is my best friend i try to go visit her every morning but that has changed here lately since my daughter went back to school. i never thought me and her would be close considering we fought all the time when i was younger i thought she was so mean but i've learned it was all about love.so what about you are you close with your mom?

I didn't used to be close to my mother either. We have grown closer as I've got older. Now we have coffee together at least twice a week. On the days when we have coffee she always stays long enough to watch our favorite soap together, The Young and the Restless. It's nice bonding time for us.

I love my Mom with all my heart, and I really don't know what I'd do without her. We may live far apart but we talk almost daily whether it be through telephone or on Yahoo Messenger. I have come to learn that my mother's tough love antics when I was younger were actually very much for my own good. She let me learn from my own mistakes.. and boy did I make a lot of them. She was a single mom raising two kids working full time and going to University three nights a week, but she was always there for us when we needed her. In return as a teen and into my early twenties I hurt my mother pretty badly with some bad life choices and in the end it was Mom once again to the rescue and she helped me pull my life together. She is not only my role model but she's my best friend and mentor as well. Love you Mom!

I too was not very close when I was younger. When I was a teenager we did not really fight or anything but we were not really close either. I think that we just had differnt interests at the time and when you are a teen you are wanting to find yourself on your own. It is nothing the parents are doing wrong or anything you are just wanting some independence. Thankfully my mother gave me the space to become my own person but was also there anytime I needed her. Now she is one of my best friends and we spend serval days per week together. I hope that when my girls are older that we will be able to be close like my and my mother are now. I know the road to getting there will not always be smooth but it will be worth the ride.
