Parents as real friends...

I consider my parents as my parents. I have never really seen them as friends, I have my friends for that. I guess I just couldn't see myself doing the things I do with my friends, with my parents.

my parents are too friendly with me and i thank god that they have given me such a good parents in my life. when i was child my school teacher gave me lot of home work and i came crying to the home my mom asked, "y are u crying"? then i told that "teacher gave me lot of home work". my mom told "there is nothing to worry about i will help you in completing your home work" and there was a sudden smile in my face and i stopped crying. now i am 20 if i have a stress then talk with my mom or dad. My dad has been always friendly with me. They both are gods gift to me..:)

Yes I also think such parents are real friend we should not hide anything from our parents. Your parents can understand your feelings.

to you are very right. I think it all depends on ourselves and our parents as they educate us. Yet it is very nice when you can count on your family in any situation you can have them as friends rather than parents. What good it it. I am friends with my mother and we both quite often share their problems and to give advice. because as you say one parent in the first place we is the best friend and he will never mislead us and will never lie to us. interesting discussion. nice day!

Don't think you are antisocial. It is your nature of approach to others. Admiration and respect to mother is a great matter. Happenings in life would bring a few friends to you, outside from your family, whom you would give considerations as family members.

Yes dear.. I really agree with that. My mom also tells me about certain things that really make me enjoy and more comfortable. Our family is the most important part of our lives. We should thank them and appreciate them in everything. The world maybe so deceitful but our family will remain true to us till the end.

I was fortunately enough to have parents who loved me. I always had an open relationship with them, but when I grew up we were more like friends because they didn't have to "train" me anymore. My mom, especially, felt free to ask my advice on things, too, especially in her last years. She was about the only one I found time to go to lunch with. Now that we have neither parent left, my brother and I work on keeping our own bond strong -- even if we can't physically see each other more than about once a year. I realize some people weren't fortunate enough to have good parents. Some had abusive parents or selfish parents and so the friendship bond I had with my parents never developed for them. I feel sad for them, and thank God for the parents he gave me.

I do the same thing as you,my mother is my best friend too. I feel free and comfort to share whatever I feel to her without any feeling to be cheated or used. She know how to give me wise advise and broad knowledge about anything in this world that I know nothing about them. This friendship is so great
