I have alot of friends but nothing compares to the friendship that i have with my mom. I dont know what i would have done without here lately. I cant talk to friends about stuff like i can my mom lately dont really know why. SHe has helped me so much lately by financial and just talking lately i believe she owns a share in me lol. I think it is important to have a relationship with my mom on this level and not just as a mom it makes us that much closer. Is your mom your best friend? Do you have a specail story about your mom as your friend?

Hi Kat, that is wonderful that you have a lot of friends and you are right that nothing can compare to your mother, you are very lucky that you still have her as I was adopted as a baby and now my real mother and adopted mother have since departed from this world but have a special place in my heart until if I am luck enough to meet up with both of them in heaven as I am sure that both of them are there as they were both beautiful caring woman xx

erm.. i don't have good relationships with my mom.. our relationships are considered average.. not too good.. not too bad...my mum is the one who will solve most of my problems..but there are times i didn't want her to help her.. but she insist.. she always think i'm a small baby.. and i can't handle my problems.. even i'm in debt of 20 - 30k.. i think she will help me to settle it.. gosh.. don't you think that's not the way parents should train their child? i do prefer being close to her.. but it's too late.. because i have many younger sister.. and they need my mom more than me.. so .. i think it's time for me to find my own path.. :)

you remind me something i never forget for my whole life ...i also love my mother much ,even in a state of lover ,,cause she cares about me and give selfish love anytime i am suffering pain or woe ...last spring festival(the most important festival in china ),i went home from school ...i had planned to hug her as soon as i reached home ..cause it was already late night when i arrived ,,so it left me a great pity (actually chinese is seldom to embrace their parents owing to the consevataive traditions ).....
oh ,one day when i was taking a nap during the library ,i made a dream that my mum called me by my nickname and asked me to go home since it was nearly close to the end of semester ,,,,,,,,,.
i still remember the time when i left home for the first time to study in the faraway place ,,i weaved my hands trembledly and cried to say farewell ,,,,just one years later white hair emerged out of her black hair before ,,,,i cried again ,touched by the devotion and love from her ...

My mom is my best friend. I confide in her more than I would do with any friend. I trust her 100% and I know that she would do anything for me and I for her.
I am so sad when I hear people trash their moms - coz our moms are the nicest thing we have. I feel so sorry for people missing out on that!

My mom is my best friend also. She is my rock! No matter what mood I’m in or how I’m feeling after talking with mom- I’m always happier! There is no other person friend or family that will drop everything they are doing to come if I need it. She is great! Truly my best friend. I have a lot of really great friends- but you like said- I can tell my mom anything. She is also a super grandma! My daughter loves spending time with gram & gramp.
My mom gave me quite the scare 2 weeks ago. She was sick with a cold (my whole family- daughter, sig. other and I had just gotten over the flu). Her cold got worse so she went to the doctors- They ended up putting her right in the hospital. Dehydration and viral infection- she was only in 1 night— but was down for almost a week! Plus she has been dealing with a lot of stress—my brother is in Iraq and she worries daily! She is only in her late 50’s.

Hey this is a really good discussion.
I would say that my mom and I are really close but still on the level to be friends and talk about everything. We do sit down and talk about all the joys and sorrows.
You are indeed very lucky to have a mom like that, it really is something to look up at your parents like really good friends rather than just a child - parent relationship.

I totally agree with you! Mothers are the bestfriends we could have. They are there always, no matter what. We don't have to worry whether they will stick to us through thick and thin, for they will surely will. I love my mother so much! I owe my life to her. She is so special!

You are very lucky to love your mom and have a good realtaionship with her. My mom on the other had has told my twin sister and I we were not wanted from the say we were born. She is a mean vendictive person and I hate her. Mom lived with my husband and I for 10 years and is now in a nursing home a few blocks away. I handle her money, I buy her clothes and I do all of her fetching and carrying. I make all of ther medical decisions for her. I still hate and resent her for what she did to my sisters and I. I do it out of a warped sence of duty.
Mom tells lies and she cannot seem to keep them stright I never know what to believe what comes out of her mouth. She tells me one thing, she tells my person who helps me drive, because I am disabled and cannot drive, another thing and the nurses something else.
I do not even call mom to check on her she calls me to ask me to get her stuff. She wants me to bring her stuff everyday, but I put a limit to it of twice a week. I am not on call for her.
I am glad you love your mom and I praise your mom. I feel there is a special place in heaven for loving and caring moms.

My moms my best friend, and I love that. The thing is, friends can come and go, but your mom is always your mom. She will never purposely let you down, shell never tell all your secrets, and with her added experience in life, she knows how t ogive great advice.
