Are you close to your parents?

Find a quality time with your mother. I think you mother simply try to keep herself busy with her work because she she is lonely. She doesn't want disturb your life because you have your own family to look after. Your mother is a very independent woman. I think this is good. As long as she is healthy and strong let her work keep her busy and be among her friends. But as a daughter keep track of her health, take her to doctor regularly, and ask your children to keep intouch with often so that she feel she has lots of love and caring from her daughter and grandchildren.

Hi Paulsy!! i am very much close to my parents right from my childhood specially i am attached with my father. They care for me alot and always with me in every situation whether it is normal or critical, my parents always lead me to the front giving their support.They don't ever interfare in the things what i do rather trust me truly and i can say my parents are the best. I don't have any problem with them, so near and dear to me and i really want to serve them to my best and always make them happy.

No I was not close to my parents until I had my own kids. My kids became our point of conversation everyday.

Hello paulsy, I am very close to my family - my siblings and also my parents. I was in a good relationship with my late father. I only have my mother now and though she is staying quite far away from me, I make a habit to call her everyday. Once a month, she will come to visit the children and whenever she is around, we will go out and have a good talk together. I don't tell secrets to her but in some ways, we are very close as mother and daughter.

I am very close to both my parents. I see my father every morning after I drop my eldest at school. I take him his newspaper and have a chat. He says that it is the highlight of his day as he also gets to see my youngest at the same time. My mother and I are also very close and have lunch together once every two weeks or so. She is still working so it is not as easy to see her, however when she is on holidays we see each other every day. My parents are a very big part of my life, without them I do not know where they would be

Yes, i am close to my parents specially Mom. I usually discussed pretty much everything with her. She like my best friend. Of course I don't discuss everything with her, :) But most of the time.

Yes i am very close to my mom , although i dont speak much to my dad , but i cannot stay without them for sure. ~pinks~

I am very close to my parents. I owe them my life! My life revolves with them especially now that their very old. I think nothing is permanent in this world, but I wanna see them proud of me and give them everything that they want.

Hi there Paulsy! I am happy with my current relationship with both my parents. My father has a new family now. He is living far away from us. We keep in touch by sending text messages regularly, sometimes calling each other and sometimes chatting on yahoo messenger too when my cousin is there because he doesn't know how to use the computer. My mother is like a best friend to me. We are living under one roof but that's until our own house is done. She is really nice, only she gets grumpy when she doesn't have any money but then again, who isn't, right? But her kindness and generosity is much much bigger than that one small thing. I think it's great that you and your mother are regularly talking.

Hi paulsy! I am very close to my mother and when she passed away 15 years ago, I was devastated and until now I missed her a lot. I got close with my father when my mom passed away. Just my thoughts dear friend. Take care and have a nice day!

Yes I'm close to them,,... I'm a daddy's girl... Hehehehe I'm still his baby.... I'm close to my mother too.... We update each other everytime we see each other....

I am not that close to my parents, I still live with my parents, but I rarely see my Dad as he is either at work, at the gym, at the pub, sleeping or watching TV with my sister. I see my Mam more and we talk about what happened in our days, but we don't really tell each other secrets and intimate things.

hi yes im very close to my parents they only live 15km away from me and i go there every afternoon with my two kids, if ever i am in trouble like with money they help out, and they are alwasy buying things for the children, even if we've seen each other all fternoon we can still call each other in the evening and say oh i foregot to say this or that, sometimes my partner says haven't you see your family today i say yes but we always foreget to say something lol lol

First off, I consider myself to be lucky. I am 52 and both of my parents are still living. Actually, I live on their land and am within 800 feet from their home. The relationship with my mother is one that I deal with very carefully, she gossips. Both of them are in their mid 70s and showing signs of dementia. My older brother lives in Florida so that leaves me as the oldest around here. In between my home and theirs is the youngest son that gets pampered and has never learned to stand on his own. In 2005 I moved back here because I saw these signs of "getting old" starting with my parents. I love my whole family but truly feel like there is too much favoritism shown by my parents and I get used as the fall guy for all the mistakes this younger brother makes. I will be here for my parents, but when they are gone... I am out of here!

So much close to them but not the kind of way that they knows everything I do. We talk just about everything as long as it's something good with moral. My father is from the church so we can't talk bad words or topic with him. hehehe.. And with my mother, she's everybody's bestfriend. Every member in the family talks to her of problems because she knows or she finds solution for you. Sometimes when I go home and visit them, we just sit in the living room just the three of us and talk what's up with my life, update me with current situation aournd the place and sometimes make tell me about their grandchildren's jokes and new discovered crazy talents.. I can say my parents are cool.

I used to be, a lot, but not anymore. I think it's natural with aging and experience, it's called emotional maturity.

No i am not close with my parents. Neither with my mom nor with my dad or even not with my siblings. I don't know why, either they don't understand me or i don't understand them. I am close only to my life mate. Atleast she listens to each and every of my nonsense. My dad is so strict and use to beat me a lot when i was a kid. However i am much closer with my mom. I often quarrel with her. May be its my problem not theirs.

my relationship with my parents is quite normal just like others.i used to be more close to my father it may be because im the only son in the family,and im the favorite of my mother among my other sisters.which might also be the reason why i have been a spoiled brat when i was young....but of course that was then,now they love so much my first born son since he is their first grandson.....

I think I am closer to my mom than to my dad.Because I am their second child,so the gap between us is very big,I think.So there are some difficulties to communicate with them sometime.

My mother and I were very close, we talked daily and several times a day--especially after the births of my children. She was a big cornerstone in our world, but is with us no longer. My father and I were close in years past and that bond does still hold to some degree, but distance and time have had it's way with us and we're not in one another's daily lives so much. I think a bedrock relationship with my parents in the past has definitely been a wonderful thing--I miss it alot. ~~
