It‘s a doubt that I have.

Some times I want to rebel or get angry to mum when she give an opinion that I don't like. But I remember she is my mum and she knows that me.😃😃😃😃

Now i understand my mom because of this and i appreciate her more than ever while i am having my own daughter.

si a un hijo se le enseña buenos valores y crece con madurez y honestidad en su carácter es natural que sea amigos de sus padres, ahora durante el crecimiento si hay problemas de comportamiento si creo que la amistad viene para después, la crianza puede ser algo fácil o algo difícil depende de las circunstancia, tiempo en casa y muchas variables.

And I quote- "Parents cannot be friends with their children because they should only be parents".... I've heard this a lot of times but I always refuse it bluntly. Though my parents are no longer alive, I remember that we were very close to them and there was hardly anything we didn't tell them because they corrected us with love and we felt very free.

I see that you love your son so much and you peeps are really close.. That's some real friendship between mother and son.. Well done ma'am for proving the world wrong. Parents and their children can be friends after all.

This is amazing on how you were able to maintain this mother-son relationship. I grew up without this character in my house and it didn't make any sense. I don't know what really happened but I think my parents lacked this feature. But that doesn't mean I don't love them, I so much love them.. Nice meeting you again ma'am 🙌

Siento que crear las bases para que haya confianza entre padres e hijos es tan importante como es la creación de bases morales para que se vuelvan tolerantes. No creo mucho en la amistad de padres-hijos, porque siempre los veo como guías más bién; pero yo, por ejemplo a mis pdres les cuento todo y los consulto para todos sin necesidad de dejar de verlos como mis figuras de autoridad, a pesar de la edad.

Based on your story, I can conclude that you have done a great job in raising your son alone. It might have been difficult to raise a son when you are alone but you pulled it off. Like you, I also don't agree that parents cannot be friends with their kids because in my case, though my mother implements some rules as a mom, I still tell her my secrets and rants like she is just a friend.

I feel you sis and we really experienced that in a right time. Since my eldest son is growing up and he started to neglect my advices then later on he realized his mistakes. We need to be strict sometimes to them . We really loved our kids and all we need is a good future for them.

I can really tell that you love your son so much. And I think you've been a good mother to him. He loves you and that's important. He learn a lot from you and he will also teach those things you teach to him to his child. 🥰

Only if your son is wrong you must feel sorry to be a friend to him. But from what you wrote both mom and son are so caring and open minded. That's why he tells everything openly to you. Appreciate your relationship. Only like this we can bring good citizens to our country.

The bond you have with your son can only be wished for by most. From what relationship you built with your son, it is being honest and acknowledgement of that honesty and being thankful about it. That is what most parents neglect.

I hope to the parents out there, they should learn from this.

You are a good mother, a good mother doesn't just mother a child but also befriends that child. He has grown to be a gentleman among his peers that they even send blessings to you, that's to show you the job well done you did. I don't believe parents needs to be harsh with their children, having them talk to you without keeping things to themselves is really great though when he or gets to be an adult and in relationships, this talk should be minimised a bit.

there are many cases like this even though I am not married but I understand how children behave towards their parents. self reflection

Having a mother whom you can treat as a best friend is one of the best things on life. I don't like a parent with barrier from child, it is important to build closeness together.

If I were to raise my own son/daughter in the future, I want them to see me as a mother and their best friend at the same time.

I don't think you have done any harm, if you considered that you could be both that good, that means I never disrespected you either as a mother or as a friend. You were a friend when you had to be, but you were also severe when the situation warranted it. someday they will grow up and understand that what we did for them was the best thing

Hello my beautiful friend, how are you?

Before answering your question, let me congratulate you on the great job you do as a mother, because if there is a job that never ends, it is that of dads, because every day that passes they give their best to guide, help and be the best example. of their children.

I consider that excuse of: "Parents should not be friends with their children, because they should only be parents." It is an excuse used by those bad dads, who do not deal with the importance of being parents, they bring children into the world to bring them. There is nothing more important than reinforcing that emotional bond between parents and children. Because if they can't trust their parents, then who can they trust?

My mom is my confidant, my friend, my companion, that woman in whom I trust even the most absurd because I know that her way of seeing life sometimes does not coincide with me and that makes me see things better, because I know that her advice will always be positive and in her I have that constructive criticism where she makes me see alternatives.

Unfortunately many people have children and it makes them uncomfortable to listen to them, they hide and always have that negative attitude where they set limits and their best excuse is that: I'm not your friend, I'm your mom/dad.

That is why today we see a lost, disoriented youth that focuses on the bad, on the empty, on what does not make sense, that is why there are so many frustrated young people trying to live lives that do not exist. Greetings and my respects for such an incredible article

I think being a mother and a best friend to our kids are the best relationships we can build with them, coz they can apply it with themselves as they grew up and had thier own families too.
