Do you get closer to your mother after you have children?

Hi Zuki! As a parent, I also felt the same thing, as you have said. When I became father, I could understand how difficult it is to bring up kids and our mother/parents would have worked really hard to bring us up.

mother's love is universal and we need to understand that even that child need love and like to have mother love everytime. but mothers love for you will never go down and show your love everytime to your mother.

Yes I understand and remember my mom everyday when I have to deal with my 2 boys , and sometimes I try to think and remember what my mother would do in some situations, you know sometimes is like I dont know what to think , say or do with my kids, I get blocked , and its hard to decide if u are doing the right thing with your children or if what You are doing will affect them later on, even if we read in books how to grow up kids is not the same as doing it for real.Now ,that I am a mother I feel I love more my mother and feel sorry for the moments I didnt listen to her ,and yes its true as you said that being a mother is something in common between mothers and daughers.

Its funny because it took me to have my own kids to finally realize how much I appreciate my own mother and the ways she protected me back when I was young. Things always seemed so hard and I thought she was way too overprotective. Today I can see all the ways she looked out for me and my sister and had our best interest at heart. I love being able to tell her now that I understand all the reasons why she did what she did because I go through many of the same things with my kids. Its so very bittersweet and I am grateful for it...because of this we have bonded in a way I used to NEVER think was possible growing up. My mother is more of a friend now and I would not trade her for the world.
