Your Mom

so how are your relationships with your mothers? Are you close? Do you hope that you and your kids have the same relationship? As for me, My mom and i are so so so close. she is my best friend. i can talk to her about anything. anything that happens around here i call joel first then my mom.she calls me if my stepdad or brother or aunt or her boss or whoever makes her upset, we call each other to bounce different ideas off of each other. she is the one who told me that i could write my book (which i am still doing) and i am the one who told her that she could quit her job and be so successful and more appreciated elsewhere (she has five different applicaations out). My DH thinks its annoying and weird, but he isn't close with his mom and his dad passed away two years ago. so what about you ladies? am i the only one out there "still connected by the ambilical cord" (as my DH sarcasticly calls it)?

I am very very close to my mom. We talk almost every day, if not on the phone through email, and I see her once or twice a week. (we walk and go to weight watchers together). I am really close with my whole family though.

We werent always close though, we only got close after I moved out of the house. We are very different and butted heads A LOT. I am just very happy we can be so close now.

My husband has a good relationship with his mom, but he is not as close to her as I am to my mom. Its just different, not bad.

I hope that my children and I can stay close always, but esp. when they are adults. That is the time that you can really move from being a parent to being a friend as well.

Im very close to my mother, we talk about everything. I even fill her in on my sex life which she does not care to know. lol

Growing up my Mom and I always had a rocky relationship. She is a very strict person, and if you were in an argument with her you'll never win. Now, I understand why she was like that and we're not super close but I can talk to her and share things with her that I never used to be able to share.

me and my mom are closer now then we used to be.me and my dad are best friends but in the past year me and my mom have gotten alot closer, i think due to my son being born and all that. i have always been able to talk to her about anything and i hope that me and connor are the same way, hes already a mommas boy because i spoil him

Me and my mom are best friends. She was my matron of honor in my wedding. Enough said. LOL

Mom and I are basically the same person. We are so much alike we fight. But in a good way though.. if there is. We clash? She is still my bestfriend and a heck of a parent if I do say so myself.

Me and my mother were never close and I think if she were still here, we still wouldn't be close. I'm hoping to be close to my daughter when shes older [and any other kids I may have]

Eh.

My mom is a bit.. hard to deal with. I honestly try really hard, but she's a bit selfish and doesn't think before she acts/speaks.

We live in different states and I think we've had a better relationship this way. My sister isn't as patient, so their relationship was always shaky. I wish me and Melanie have a strong relationship. I really want that with her.

My mom and I used to be very close. We became even closer after she divorced my dad. Mainly because she was such a strong person through it all. Not because I don't love my dad--I am complete Daddy's girl!. But in 2006 my dad started dating this woman who is now my stepmom. My mom doesn't like her because this new woman feels that ex's shouldn't be as close as my mom and dad were. Which my dad didn't want the closeness, he just didn't wanr to hurt my mom's feelings by basically telling her to get lost. Now, she's constantly saying that I don't care about her because I still have such a good relationship with my dad and stepmom. She's become addicted to painpills, and lives in complete filth. I've gotten to where I don't trust her with my son because of various reasons. DH and I have tried to help her, but she won't help herself so it's not doing any good. I still love her and care about her and wish things were like they used to be. There's a whole lot more to the story but that would take forever to post.

me and my mom deal with each other we arent that close but she wasnt around when i was growing up and i think that is a the main reason why we arent close. she went to prison when i was like 5 and got out when i was 16 and though she could just come back and everything would be all daisys she was way off!

My mom and I talk daily and see each other often. But hugging her or saying "I love you" to her, or hearing her say that to me for that matter, just seems very strange to me.

My mother and I are very close. My husband wants us to move out of state because he says I still basically live with my mom...lol. My mom is usually the first person I call for anything, then my husband, then my best friend. We talk every day. I know she'll support me no matter what whacky thing I'm up to and she helps me any way she can. My mom went through a lot in her childhood which stopped her from being comfortable and completely open with me when it came to things like sex and relationships. She has a horrible relationship with her mom. I want even better for me and my daughter. All that I have with my momma plus more =)

My biological mothered died when I was infant. My legal guardian/stepmom and I are not close. I live across the country from her an exchange the occasional text message with her. I never intend to let her see her grandson or to see her again for as long as she is alive.

My mother and I were never close, and we probably never will be, because out of her three kids, I am the one that she wish she never had. She critizes everything I do, is not supportive of me, nags at me, she constantly tells me that I will never amount to anything in life. I don't know why she says the things she says to me. I think that she saysthese aweful things to mebecause she had very high hopes for me and is disappointed in me as I had kids so young and that I never accomplished the things that she wanted me to accomplish in life. I honestly don't know...the only other reason that I can think of as to why she would say such things to me is because I am just like my dad and that alone drives her crazy. Regardless of what my mother says to me, I know that she loves me, otherwise she wouldn't say that she did, and I love her too, but sometimes I really want to smack her!
