There is an adage that mothers are the best friend of their daughters?In my opinion I donot think this case holds true in each case.For me my mother because of the much age difference between us we never are best friends.There are some criterion based on which you can decide who your vest friend is...and I have looked upon my mother more as a strict moral guardian rather than a best friend .Maybe some are lucky enough to prove the adage and exceptions are always there.Please let me know of your opinions about it.

my mother and i are not the best of friends. there were times when we'd just fight for the sake of having something to fight about. but never the less, i've always considered her to be more than a friend because she would support me no matter how nasty our arguments would turn out to be. we share a special bond, more special than what she shares with my brothers. and being the only daughter in the family we somehow have this unique bond that she cannot share with my brothers. the female bond. so, my advice to you is just hang on in there.

Hi sanju21! Having your mother as your best friend is really a choice. When I was young, I looked at my mom as an enemy because of her strict discipline towards everything that I want to do - like going out with my friends and hanging out. She can always see something different or wrong on the way I act, dress and just everything about me.
But talking to her about life was my first move. It started with a mother-daughter heart to heart talk, then eventually we're able to patch things up. I consider her my best friend now because she supports me all the way and is always there to listen to me. Communication is necessary for both parties, and of course, also understanding. In time, I hope you and your mom will also become friends. :)
Take care and God bless!

me and my mother aren't that close, sure we talk on the phone about once a week, but we don't talk about personal things like relationships and things in depth, but we have a close enough relationship to where we talk about health issues, job issues and things like that. This is because when I was younger up until my parents got divorced when I was 12, me and my mom were close. From about 12-18 we didn't get along, and only started getting along once I went away to college. We are too much alike and it makes up butt heads, but I love her to pieces :)
