If your parents were just your own age, would you like them enough to be friends

Interesting question! I think I would make good friends with my Mom, and my Dad would be more like, my good friend's husband. But, I'm not sure how good of friends we'd be, if we were both 30 (how old I am, now) because by this age, my Mom's real friends were only people working through the hospital, where she worked, and I don't do that at all. If it was in highschool, though, then yeah, we'd be good friends, hanging out together regularly. We happen to have extremely similar DNA, so we get along pretty well.

Interesting question! My father is now gone and I wish he was still around, so we could share experiences and I could get advice from him. My mother is still around and I try to keep in contact with her, but it is not always easy, but I will keep on trying!

My mother and I get along really well. If my mother was my age I think that we would be good friends just like we are today. My mother and I are alike in many ways and I think that is one of the reasons why we get along so well. I am not so sure about my father. My father and I have had many arguments in the past, and I think that a friendship would be a little problematic and we would probably argue a lot. He has a strong personality and I have a strong personality and sometimes that is a bad combination. He has a temper and I have a temper and I think that is one of the reasons why we have had so many arguments.

My kids and I are having a good relationship as friends. Being a parent- the best way to win your kid is to be their friend. Once they become your friend- you will never had a hard time understanding them and knowing what they want. This is one big mistakes of other parents- some parents put a gap between their kids which they call "respect" Kids will always respect their parents even if they treat each other as friends. The closeness of being friends will bring a great relationship between kids and parents.

I'm sure I wouldn't be my mom's but would be my dad's. Me and my mother are just opposite, not that anyone is wrong. But we are really different, in any way. So no, I couldn't stand be a close friend I guess, and I have no friends that looks like her.

Yes, I would probably be friends with my mother if she were my own age. She has a great sense of humour and loves to laugh and joke around, as do I. My best friends are the ones who make me laugh so I think we'd get along great if we were both the same age. My father, hmmmm, that's a tough one. He was always so very quiet and hard to get to know so I'm not really sure about that one.

I think that I get along with them well enough as is right now. Naturally that is going to be because they are my parents and the only set that I really have. Of course, assuming that you're asking if they are the same person that are up, but complete strangers and not my parents and would I still get along with them, that is an intriguing question. And one I would never really truthfully know the answer to. I would rather like to think that I would rather get along with them, to the point where I was friends. But really, I do wonder if our paths would cross if they were two people off of the streets. There are just so many factors to really consider and many of them, I don't really know the answers of.

Probably, but they have so many quirks and stuff I'm not too sure, they have health problems mentally and physically. I think my mother would be the hardest to be friends with as she doesn't even seem to want friends other than her sisters and my brother to an extent. She has tried to be friends with me and vice versa but somehow she always has to resort back to treating me like a child again and being "reprimandable", even at my age. I think she has some mentally unstable problems though and this is what causes it. My dad however after he got sober was better to get along with. Now he just has alot of hearing problems and it's a struggle to communicate with someone like that too. So I'm torn on this question.

If my parents where my own age? For my mom, no I wouldn't like to be friends with her. Since I know when she was my age, she was pretty much uptight and close minded. But how that she's in her late 50's, she's very liberating. My dad, he was an A hole when he was young. and he had a really bad temper. But how he's cool. So I wouldn't be friends with either of them. They're cool now that they're old. Haha.

TO be frank my frank my parents are my friend even thought there is a age gap, if they were of my age I think I would still be friends with them but it could only be told if that was the situation. I like my parents as they are, age hasn't been a gap between me and my parents to be friendly enough ...

I seriously respect my parents. so it is hard to enclose somethings with them! but if they were in my age...hummm it's hard to imagine!
