WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

If you could change something about it what would it be.

My mom and I are friends, we are close, we talk about everything, she got preggo when she was 16 and we have been like 2 peas in a pod. When she left me at 9 yrs to come to America, I think it broke my heart, but after we were reunited 6 yrs later it was the best day of both our lives. My mom and I share clothes, shoes, everything. I would not change a thing. She taught me about men, fashion, being a lady, she gave me the self confidence that I have and all this self esteem that I have. For that I am forever greatful to her. I love my mom so much, it was the hardest thing moving away from her to go and live with hubby. If I never got married I would still live with my mom. Not a day goes by w/o me speaking to her or us telling each other we love each other. When they made my mom, they broke the mold. She is the best.

My mother and I were close when I was small. She passed away when I was 13, God rest her soul. I miss her though and I always seem to talk to her, I know she is still around watching over me. I can feel her.

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

Great thread, Shamma!
Your mom can't be the best, because MY mom is the best! LOL
We are very close. I never had a great relationship with my dad, and he was NOT a good husband to my mom. She worked very hard to make my sister and I who we are today. She is such a great, classy lady, and I love her to death

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

Shamma, unfortuantely I do not have the same relationship with my mom. It is very strained!!!!

She did not raise me. I was raised by my Late Grandmother. She was my mother.

I do not dislike her, we are cordial. I do not agree with some of the decisions she has made in her life. I hardly ever speak to her. Months can go by.

No one really understands but me.

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

My Mom is my best friend! I love her like no other. Mommy is always there for me, be it for a trip to the mall or to comfort me when I'm crying to to stay with me when I'm sick. I can vividly remember my mom sitting up all night when I was a child and I had a fever (I was a very sick little girl ) I can remember her screaming from the second she came into the hospital until she got to my room when I was hit by a car. When I was 2 I came into her kitchen and sat on a chair and looked at her and asked her 'Mommy am I your best friend' and she said absolutely, now dont move. She grabbed her camera and snapped a pic of me. She has it enlarged now and its in her bedroom. I would love to live with my Mom forever, I want to take her with me when I leave.

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

My mom and I have come along way. It was too the point where my mom and I didnt speak.

Many horrible things happened to me as a child that my mom would never admitt to knowing about and I hated her for it.

After many years my mom and I now are closer than ever I thank god for this every day.

Good thread, dont start one on fathers

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

I am close to my mom .. but it is like she has been my friend all these years. When i was growing up my mom was always the 'mother everyone wanted' . She was very self absorbed and My sister and I bascially are who were are today because of my grandmother... I have an aunt who is only 7 years older than me( 2 years older than my sister)So we all grew upo around each other. My mom and I now are friends. She gives me advice and I speak to her once/three times a day. She just does not know how to ' mother' like when you are feeling sick and you need some sympathy...That is why i am glad that i have a great trealtionsship with my 'MOM' ( my MIL)she gives me the TLC I sometimes need....

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

My mother is menapausing real bad so she is like the phsyco b*tch from h*ll. Everyday she is like wa wa wa, my house is a mess, I broke a nail, stupid stuff like that. Oh my favorite is if you don't like it, then move out, it's my house!! I cannot stand my mother!!!

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

ALL I CAN SAY IS I LOVE MY MOMMA. SHE IS THE BEST. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE HAVE OUR DIFFRENCES BUT SHE HAS ALWAYSSSSSSS BEEN THERE FOR ME

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

Me and my mom are super close. I can honestly say she is my best friend. She is the type of woman where you can tell anything to and she has always been that way which enabled us to be so close.

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

my mom and I are pretty close...but if I could change one thing it would be my mothers obsession with finances...the only reason we ever fight is over money and spending choices...

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

My relationship with my mother is better than it was when I was younger, but we'll never be close. I never call her unless I need something. Actually I'll e-mail rather than call most of the time so I don't have to have awkward conversation with her.

She was just always very strict and made me do a lot of things that I didn't want to do (like take piano lessons for NINE years!). I realize now that all those things that she made me do were for the best, but I just really resented the fact that I never had a choice in the matter. It was always 'but mom, why do I have to?' And her answer was 'because I said so!'

I always viewed her as very mean and cold. She never hugged me or told me that she loved me. Now that she's older, she's trying to change that, but it's still very uncomfortable for me....

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

My mother is my bestest friend.
Sometimes I get on her nerves bc I am nasty and she says I just can't relax.
Everyone loves my mother. She would do anything for anyone.
She is the best cook, she would give you the shirt off her back.
She taught me to find someone to love me unconditionally like how my father loves her.
She said Marry for LOVE never $$$$$$.
She said Marry someone you can sit with for hrs THERESA and never speak a word and have the best time .
And for me not to speak is a task in itself. :)

She is my role model and I hope to be as wonderful as a person as she is someday!

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

Before my mom passed away, we were sooo close. She was absolute best friend. We did everything together. She was funny, smart, and raised the 4 of us to be the best we can be. I will alway's be thankful for the 23 wonderful years with her. I miss her so much. If only I could have one more day....with her and my dad...my other best friend...

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

That was one of the nicest things I think I have read in a VERY long time! That is wonderful that you are so close to your mother, and I don't know how you manage to live far away from her! I have a similarly close relationship with my mother, only we are so alike that sometimes we really get on eachother's nerves. I lived away from my mother for the past year, and now that I am living with her again, I am so happy to be here! She used to take my sister and I on pro-choice rallies when we were in our early teens and she shared a lot of her personal experiences with us so we could see that even though her and my father struggled a lot in the beginning, it all works out. I definitely inherritted my huge value of education from her. She was never allowed by her parents to follow her dream of becoming an artist, and she wasn't allowed to go to college at all. So when I saw her start college at the age of 38 and finish all the way through to her master's, all while working and keeping up with her job as a mother, I said, this is what I need to do for myself now, so I don't have to do it later. Ok, sorry, just thought I would share how great my mother is too! I wouldn't change a thing about her!

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

Great Thread!!!

My mom and I are VERY close! We share alot in common, not only do we have the same birthday, we enjoy many of the same things. We scrapbook together, do crafts, watch the same shows. When my parents& Harry & I decided to buy a house together, alot of people told me to make sure I keep out boundries very clear. My mom can be a little bit of a control freak and needs to be the ruler of all, but I think that she realizes that she is only one of 4 in this house!!

I love the idea that I get to see my parents everyday!! I pop down there an chat with them. Is great!! Now, of course if the tables had been turned and my sister would have moved in with them...OMG...WWIII would have broken out in about 30 secs!!

I love my mom!! She is my best friend!!


edited: I also wanted to say that my mom taught my sister and I to be VERY indepentant women!!

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

My mom and I are not close She's a lot closer to my younger sister - and my younger sister takes TOTAL advantage of that too!

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

I love my mommy too!!!! She is a wonderful, generous, caring person. She has taught me to be the independent person I am today. She is my most wonderful friend!

Re: WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH YOUR MOTHER

I have the same scenario as K. I do not have a close relationship with my mom. It is amicable at best! I called her to say hi and she said don't expect me to call you..you are the one that moved away... ***????

She did not raise me, she had me when she was 18 and regretted all the things she had to give up and NEVER let a chance go by to remind me of it either

I was raised by my Late Grandmother, in my eyes she was my mother.
