OK 4 Girls ONLY~ Do You Really Have That Mother & Daughter Relationship?

My mom and I have always had a very good relationship, it has not always been perfect but I would not change a thing about it. I love my mom, she is such a strong woman.

When I was in highschool I thought my mother just wanted to screw up my plans, but I always loved her. I just thought she didn't want me to have fun. Then I got pregnant, twice and started to realize everything she did and said was for a reason. I lost her when I was 23 and she was my best friend and everythingl We actually did have one of those relationships like on tv. Not over done thought but just very meaningful. I have never found anyone that would understand me better than she ever did.

nope, nada, non, lol my mother and me... or rellationship is so tenuous. It's complex enough tht i can't explain it... and while she's a strong woman and everything. We've been through so much... but still our relationship isn't close anymore. She barely knows who i am, and doesn't take the time too... unless her female friends (my age) aren't around our house... then suddenly i'm remembered. Lol is not the same for my bro, and i guess habits of mine, and the fact we like different things - that i don't concede to her every opinion bugs her no end. She's my mother and i love her... but our relationship is mostly strained.
Sad though, i do wish it could be different.

My relationship with my mother is nothing at all like TV. TV even on the screwed up shows still seems to be the "ideal" version of a mom. In which the mom always realizes her wrong, or makes some sort of redemption for it before the fnal credits. My mom sees everyones else's faults. She sees why you're doing it wrong, you can do your best and its never enough, she's always the one that is right and if you think otherwise you are just taking her for granted. So no I don't have that perfect relationship with my mom. She's always sticking her nose where it doesn't belong and always telling everyone else why they could have done it better. Don't get me wrong, I love my mother to death. And I too have learned to deal with how she handles situations, enough that I can talk to her now without feeling like she's just judging me and telling me that I'm wrong. She's not how I described all the time, but when she gets in her moods sometimes where she pretty much acts like she has never done anything wrong, yet knows everything about anything. Our relationship doesn't suck, but I think that is because I'm not living in the same city with her.

My sister on the other hand is my mom's best friend. They live right down the street from each other. They eat dinner together and do all of their errands together everyday. They talk about church, soap operas, and everything else. My sister and her family are always at my mom's or my mom is always over at my ssiter's. They do have arguments occasionally but their relationship is completely different and the closest to one of those ideal mother/daughter relationships that you see on TV. BUt either way whether you are like my sister and are really close to my mom, or me who once or twice a week conversations suit us just fine, I don't think anyone really has a fairy tale relationship with their parents. Life is way more complicated than any of those shows to be that way

Ugh, no way do I have a relationship with my like I see on tv, where they call their parents their "best friend" and to be honest, I don't mind. My mom is more of a parent doing PARENTING. I always find it really weird when people share everything with their mom, I'm not sure why. It's like drinking and hanging out with your parents...that's way too weird for me. I don't want to share those experiences with my parents, ick, that's just way too creepy.

My mom sounds a lot like your mom. She spends more time mentioning the negative things she sees in me rather than the positive. I guess that saying, "love hurts" stands true in that sense. I also have things my mom has done that I don't forgive her for, but I don't talk about it or deal with it. It's in the past and I'm willing to forget about it, even if I can't forgive. I still love and she's an amazing women who came here as an immigrant and raised my brother and I on her own. I love her despite her craziness.

I'm happy that you've stuck with your mom and have found a way to be with her. Go you for not letting her get the best of you!

My mother just turned 67. I'll be 45 this month. Let me tell you, I don't know if such a relationship actually exists! When I was little, I was your typical "daddy's little girl". I don't really even have memories of my mom during those early years. My relationship with my Mom started to kick in when I reached college. I remember one particular visit from my Mom. I was living in a trailer just off campus. My mom stayed there while I attended class. I came back to the trailer to find my Mom going through my stuff. One of the things she had in front of her was a photo album of all my "party" pictures. You know....the typical college stuff. She actually asked me if "the cops had ever been called on me"! I couldn't believe it! At that point I told my Mom that she didn't know me or anything about me. She left. 5 hours later I got a call from her. She was crying saying that it was true. I was her daughter and she didn't know anything about me. From that day on, our relationship changed. We communicate more. Get more involved in each others lives. Support each other. Share dreams, hopes, fears, thoughts. We are closer now than at any other time in my life. It takes effort and a willingness to be open and communicate. I remind myself from time to time that my Mom was once my age too.

First of all I don't think there is a perfect relationship between parents and children. Mostly becouse neither the child or parent is perfect. My relationship with my mother was never a good one. I love her and I think she loves me the best she can. That made me work harder when I had children to make it a good one. My oldest daughter and I talk every day about what ever it is she wants to and although part of me wants to freak out when she tells me things I don't becouse I don't want to shut her out. I always tell her when I don't agree with her but let her know that no matter what she is my baby and I will always love her and support her. I think that is about as close as we can get.

I would have to say no I don't have the mother daughter relationship with my mother.For one thing I have an older sister and my mother says she has no favorites but anyone who saw the 3 of us together they see differently.I just try to avoid spending time with my sister and mother together with me if I can.

no me and my mom don't have a close relationship she only calls me when my brothers are doing something wrong and when i call her she only talks about my brothers . i just hope me and my daughter have a close relationship when she gets older right now she is only 11 months so she is to little,

my mom and i is very close but i will not say its perfect because sometimes we have some differences but after a day we just left it and talk again. she is very supportive to me.
