do you have a normal mother daughter relationship?

**heaven** · 12-08-2002, 12:25 AM

I talked to my mother tonight on the phone, it is always the same she complains about the children, Keiko and my nephew, and we talk about her work then she complains about my husband, and asks how the children are doing. same stuff as always. i have finally figured out i think we do have a normal mother daughter thing, or as close to normal as we will ever have, how about you is yours a normal mother daughter thing?

Probably not, as my mom is my best friend. We think alike, look alike, and so on. . . . . We seldom disagree and can deal with it when we do happen to have differing opinions.

My mom is my best friend...I can tell her anything and not be judged....We talk on the phone every day and talk online....I would hope that this is a normal mother daughter relationship cause I don't know if I would like it any other way

With my daughter, I definitely have the usual mother-daughter relationship...but then she is only 13!

With my mom, it is different...we are best friends.

I hope that when dd is older we are best friends too.

Okay before my mom died we did. She died when I was seventeen and she was my very best friend. Now with my daughter it is the same thing. I missed a lot when she was little cause I had to work ALL the time but we are very close. She has been through a lot in her eight years but she knows she can tell me anything. She has even had to tell me some stuff that I did not want to know but it makes me that much more proud of her for being able to take a stand.

Mine and my mother's relationship is anything BUT normal...I am the mother and she is the child..IMHO. She has even said to me in anger, that she gave up her young adulthood when she had kids (at 17) and she felt she had the right to live how she wanted(course she said this when I was 17, not realizing (or caring) that she was taking away my childhood as I was starving (literaly we had no money for food), going to school and working to try to pay her bills and she was staying out late from Thurs-Sunday at the bars with men) But try to explain that to her....no way! It's not my fault she had children at age 17, you know what I mean?

Normal? Had to look this one up in the Dictionary, I'm surprised they knew what it meant - I didn't LOL.

Anyway (you thought I was joking didn't you?

) Normal: Conforming to a Standard (they didn't specify who's) Usual (compaired to what???) typical or expected.

So the first two didn't help at all! The third one still has me going duh? and expected YES, coz I know her so well and I don't know any different!

Was that an intelligent answer?

It's 2.45am here - perhaps I'll just go to bed eh? ROFL

My mom and I have really good relationship. although as a teenager I was horrible!

**lucy979** · 12-16-2002, 02:41 AM

We are pretty normal now I think. When I was growing up no I don't think we were.

I love her...I know she loves me. We talk a lot. We have our moments, but who doesn't.

**PrairieRose** · 12-16-2002, 11:01 AM

I think we do, pretty much. I talk with my Mom almost everyday, sometimes more often (it's not a long distance call). We are very close but we do have some disagreements. So, sure I reckon we do!

**bamamomto4** · 12-16-2002, 11:20 AM

I don' think so.We did before she had a stroke in 1995.Since then I dread seeing her name on my caller id. I haven't spoke to her in about a month and really don't care that I haven't.
I know this sounds wrong or terrible but the whole situation is very long to explain.
I love her,but NO we don't have a mother/daughter relationship!
I do miss what we use to have
