I have always had a really good relationship with my mother, but I know of some of my friends who's relationships we're so good with theirs. My Mum and I always see each other and communicate via text message when we're not together. How is your relationship with your Mother, and is it the relationship everything that you would want it to be?

oh. it is great and getting better - i think hehe.. I admit that we do not get along very well all the time! :) but of course i'd say that every relationship has its ups and down, but my love for my mom is ever persistent and it will never run out - and i am sure that with the love my mom has for all of us, her kids of course is the greatest too... sometimes we just have our arguments, confrontations but after that.. we build a better relationship. I feel too now that i am more close to her than before.. we talk as if we are friends. :D I even give her advises and sometimes i am the nagging daughter! haha

I am 56 years and my mother 84 years old.We have been until today very fond of each other.My mother has helped me in a terrible way both financially and mentally.Even now she is so wonderful to my children who are married .She is ever loving and understanding.When I was at school and college I really worshipped her because she always gave me what I wanted.After mywedding she helped me in umpteen ways .I dont think I can ever do to my children what she did for me .

My mom and I do not get along pretty well when I was younger. I grew up with my grandmother so I really did not spend a lot of time with my mother. Though as time passed, my relationship with my mother has been very good. Though we are not that close yet. I cannot share with her my feelings and secrets yet. I am the reserve type. But we get along pretty well right now unlike before.

I have a good relationship with my mother. We are not the best of friends, but she loves and supports me, and I have the utmost respect for her.

I have an awesome relationship with my mum. We do a lot of mother-daughter bonding during my free days or when we're not out with friends. We watch new movies, especially gory action packed horror movies, we go shopping together and by that I mean, go into every single clothing, bag, and shoe store in the vicinity, and sometimes we eat out where we usually try eating at new restaurants that we haven't tried before. These are the things that we couldn't do when my brothers are with us as they would always complain about walking around so much or that they don't like the food in that restaurant. Whenever I would go somewhere or come home late, I would call or text my mum as to my whereabouts since I know that she will be worried if I don't. So you see, I really love my mum since she always brings along an adventure, an unforgettable memory, with every time we go out and have fun, laughing and just enjoying life.

I am very fond of my mother because she had given birth and raised me to be able to live independently and have their own families

oh we have a good relationship. i love and respect my mom so much. that i find it a little bit weird if other people do not feel the same. hmm... my best friend for example... she's always arguing with her mom... she always complains to me about how she wished she had another mom... i can't really understand her... always trying to convince her to look at her mom's good side but she said her mom doesn't have any... LOL i just keep hoping that she'd understand her mom sooner before it's too late...

I have a good relationship with both of my parents, but a lot closer to my mom. I think I am the closest to my mom out of everyone in my family. We had a girls day out the other day, cooked dinner, cooked desert, and just had fun quality time all around. There are times when we might not get along all to well, but it quickly fades. I enjoy how close we are and appreciate it every day. It's sad when you see some relationships of parents and children, they aren't always perfect.

Its when i graduated from college and started working that i built a closer bond with Mom. During my younger years, i always fear her because she had a very hot temper and its very hard to please her. I had always envy the mother-daughter relationship i see from friends. Their Mom is their greatest confidante, may it be something about love or school or anything at all. I'd always wanted to be open to Mom but fear got into me first that i was so cautious with all the words or stories i tell her, worried that anything i'd say would anger her. But things are different now and its never too late to make up for the lost times :).

My relationship with my mother has always been great. Even though we're both busy with our priorities in life. Like I focus on my studies and she focuses on her occupation. We live on the same roof and so we easily talk and try to know what happened with each others' day. We laugh at different things. I am so thankful to have a good relationship with my ever understanding and supportive mother.That even though I failed her for so many times, she is still there for me. Best of luck

I have always had a wonderful relationship with my mother. i did as child and still do to this day. We do have our little tiffs from time to time but they are forgotten quickly. A mother can never be replaced in a child's heart. She will always remain in mine.

Hello GemmaR. I'm glad your relationship with your mother is good. I get on really well with my mother too, I visit her a lot and often get invited for meals, we return the favour whenever we can. A healthy relationship with our parents is important, we all need someone to turn to when we are going through hard times and no one understands us more than our mother

I respect my mother very much. Would do a lot for her. So I would say my relationship with my mother is good. I live with her and happy that I do. We get along great. She did a big part of raising me, my brother and sister. To that we still thank her to this day.

Mine is good, but me and mother don't always text. We will every so often. But I have know a lot of people who don't have good relationships and hardly speak to each other. It's quite odd to see poor relationships, but everyone is different.
