a daughter and a friend...

yes i consider my parents friends they are fun to hang out with and i can talk to them about anything but it was not always like that when i was younger it was a bit harder to be so friendly but now my parents house is my favorite place to go

I think it is possible for a parent to be friends with their child. We as parents jus have to know certain boundaries are not to be crossed. I have a 4 yr old daughter, when she gets to her teenage years and starts getting into dating I want her to come to me with all her problems..whether I approve or not Im gonna listen and help her the best way I can. Im gonna make sure she always knows that Im her mother but Im a woman also so I can relate to her more than she thinks. :)

i feel my personal experience better answers this question as a daughter. my mom has unconditional love and affection towards me which made me surrender myself for the facts happening. she has lots of patience with no hinderances about the topics i chose to talk with her.i would say she is the first and best ear to listen to the happenings in my life. she has her own worries as a mother about her daughter and at the same time she wont stop me from doing anything which i feel that it should be done at a particular moment. when i feel happy, i feel like sharing that with my mom and the same in all the instances... To my observation, definitely a parent can be a gud friend to their children, with all the confidence that children can talk any thing and share any part of their life with parents.

Of courseit is possible my mom and me and best friends. She probably knows more about me than a lot of my friends. My daughter and me are really close too. She does know that I am the boss though. I talk to her all the time and she tells me everything. Some things other parents didn't even know about their own child. I like the feeling knowing that if she has a problem or needs to talk to me she does. I hope that it will continue throughout her years in high school and junior high because she will need me more than anything.

yep, of course. i've hard many stories like how a mother and daughter could be best friends. gossiping, shopping, talk about problems together, help each other, etc..maybe that's what we should do with our parents, let them have a chance to be our best friend and include them in our lives, after all they've done so much for us and have sacrifice a lot for us..

I think that it is completely possible for a parent and a child to be friends. I am friends with my mother and I cherish that friendship. The trick is that you just don't tell her everything about your life. (I don't tell everything about my life to the friends that I have had for years either.)

It`s possible if the parent is broadminded, friendly, but knows how and when not to cross the line friendhip-parenting.

Hello lencarlos!(",) I do agree with you, but, although you are friends with your parents you have to maintain boundary because parents have a certain role to play being the guardian of the children. As for my case, I really can't say that I'm close with my parents but, I'm happy because I can talk to them and they listen. Every relationships should have a give and take attitude for the relationship to work well.(",) Great daY!

I think it is possible but the parent must know when to cross the "friend" line and become the parent. I was not able to establish a "friend" relationship with my parents untill I was 21 or 22!

it is the ideal relationship to have a child & a parent as a friend .We as a mother & daughter duo share a perfect relationship as friends we share each other's pains, sorrows secrets and we judge each other reactions we watch movies together shop together watch movies together share food stuffs together we are like two siblings rather than just friends we miss each other a lot but we never love to be away from each other. From the day my daughetr was born I felt a strange closeness towards her a special bonding and even since she has always been my best friend. As a daughter she has always advised me in matters of serious & grave concerns . She helps me always to think positively to take risks in life to stand by me & love me unconditionally . I think that is what makes your relationship special we share a special bonding that I dont share with my own mother I fully agree with your idea ....

yes it is possible!
