How close are you with your mother ?

When I was younger, not so much. But now, I am very close, but we got closer when I started to have my own family. She's always there to guide me and tells me what to do since I am a new parent. And she always gives me advice on how to handle family situations :) It's a good thing my house is just near her house so I see her everyday. Sometimes I go there, at times she visits us :)

i live with my mother yet there are times when i go out of town for days on end. but irrespective of which part of the world i am in i make sure that i call her atleast twice a day. my day simply has to start by listening to her voice and i cannot go to bed without talking to her and telling her all about my day. and most importantly somehow or the other i manage to get scolded by her atleast once a week. that is what makes it all the more special. my mother is the most favorite part of my life. i seriously don't know what i could do without her.

When my mom lived in the same city as me i saw her several times a week. now that she lives in Florida and me in Missouri i don't see her as often maybe once or twice a year. Tho i do talk to he almost every day of the week. my mom is my best friend and i don't understand why your boyfriend doesn't talk to his mom more often. Years ago when my hubby didn't see his mom for 2 months and she only lived 30 minutes from us i bugged him about that and said how can you not see her when she lives so close to us and is your mother. I am so close to my om and talk to her nearly everyday so when i see someone doesn't i wonder how and why they are this way even when they say they have a close relationship. If you are that close why not talk more often and if you live that close why not see them more often. That's how i feel because my mom is everything to me.

I am close with my mother..She knows my problem, she's there when I'm sick and we always exchange message..My mom and I have a long distance relationship but we do not take it as a reason of not sharing our problems ..My mom used to visit me here especially when I got sick when no one could take care of me.

we do talk frankly but we are not close together because we have many differences. i lerned from all her faults.which contribute for who am I today.we always have fight adnd argument for her being mother she don't listen to my advice or correction to whatever mistakes she made for she always say she is a mother meaning even when she is wrong I have no right nor authority to tell her what to do. even My purposes is for her own good.She give different meaning on it.

i was so close to my mother before marriage but after living in my husband country i have become too far from my family and for that i see her once in a year, or sometimes even after 3 or 4 years... and i talk on phone like once in a week..

I love my mother very much. Now I am married so I miss her very much. I quarreled with my mother I love her very much. I love my father & brother also .

We're not very close, I'm sad to say.

I speak to my mom at least once aday, sometimes more. Out of five kids that my parents have I'm the only one who calls everyday to check up on them. To make sure they are ok. They live alone and they are in their late seventy's with health issues. So of course I worry but it seems I worry more then the others. One sister and one brother hardly calls them. The other brother and sister may call once a week or every two weeks. I think when it comes to men they are so different when it comes to calling their mom or parents. My husband is very close to his parents like I am. His two other brothers who live far away hardly call their mom. I remember they didn't even call for mother's day last year. I think its so cold and heartless. Some men just don't seem to care and it too baffles me to why. There are four brothers in my husband's family, and they were all raised together in a loving home but two of the brothers are a bit more distant and I just don't get it.

Well, I tell you the truth, I trust almost always with my mother, rather than with my father. I know, it is bad to say, but you should know that between me and my father, unfortunately there exist no good relations! Yet it should not be so! However, if this happens it is also cause my fault. I might have done better towards him, if so maybe it was, I could relate well with my father who still admire and I want to him a world of good. However, the fact remains that at the moment I am very close with my mother only. I think I still have time to put things right in my family!

My relationship with my mother is more intimate than ever before. I can talk to her just about anything and we do enjoy each other's company. I couldn't stay mad for long if we argue. I'm now living with my mother and so is my brother though we're grown up. My brother loves hanging out with his friends, otherwise he is busy working so oftentimes days(or even weeks) go by without him exchanging a single word with my mother. Filial relationships do baffle me also. We can see that some people can hardly wait to go home and see their parents after being away for a month or two. Some others though, seem to adopt that "couldn't care less" attitude when it comes to this. While it is true that it does not mean that they do not love their parents, I personally think they might be taking things for granted.

Im very close to my mother.As much as i remember i shared every thing with my mother.After marriage also i dont have a day that i didnt call her.In my school days after school i share every thing with her like a story, even in my college days also. Sharing things with her is a big relief to me.With this topic you freshen all my memories with my mother.Thanks. Im sorry about relationship between you and your mother.Your boyfriend is a good man that he loves and take care of his mother.

Very close to my mother. But it was some years ago. My mother had passed away, and I regret not to make her very happy in her life. How lucky you are, your mother still accompany you a whole day

Hi there! I can relate much to your topic because I have a closer ties with my mother as well. It just developed when I had my own family and my father left to work abroad. We got so close that every journey of my pregnancy life, she was always there... Well, more than my husband, almost... I was thankful I had that relationship with my mother because I am more confident and more proud to become like her. Thanks for the discussion ;)
