can parent and child be good frnds....?

Children have enough friends. They don't need more friends, they need parents. The need people who won't always go along with them, or agree with them. They need people who will teach them, and discipline them when they need it. You can have fun with your kids for sure, but being "buddies" is a bad idea.

nope. to have a good relationship between them is treat each other as like as their good friends.

i think parents should be parents till a certain age but after that they should make their children their best friends! i think thats the way to parenting heaven!:P

Of course we can and we should.Having a good relationship is a very good thing for both kids and parents.They can grow in a harmony family and that can make your kids living happy without always crying and naughty.Both parents and kids are trust each other and make true promise. There should be no limitation between parents and kids, as they are the closest relationship between each other.

I think that the parents should become both a friend and a guardian at the same time. I don't think there is nothing wrong with being friends with your children since it will open up the communication between you two. It is good for the child to be open with their parents but still have respect for them at the same time.

I think there needs to be a seperation between parents and children. When a parent starts being a "friend" then there is something missing in the parenting area. Being a parent isn't a popularity contest and too often parents think that being their kids "friends" will make them love them more. My kids have always been able to come to me with anything, I respect them for each one being and individual, and they know mom is here but I am the parent, they are the child, and we each have our own friends.

Parents and children can become good friends. To begin with there has to be a distinction so the child learns the rules and who is in charge. As they get older they can become friends. My oldest daughter, who is now an adult with a child of her own, is my best friend.

yes they can be until they have a certain space between them. they can be diff type of frds not the one that constitutes the usual bunch

Yes They must have to be.Then the process of learning,teachong and parenting become much more easier and better

Yes I agree with this Because me and my mom are really good friends and enjoys each others company...

ues the best ever

Yes it's good that parents and child should treat each other as good friends. But we can't take away that there should be limitations. Still have to highly respect your parents.

I beleive so that you can ! As a parent myself of two son myself and a stepdaughter and step son . I we are all a special freindship between us ! There are no limitations on the type of freindship you can have with your children and stepchildren !! The freindship only gets stronger with time !!

My mom always tried to be my "best friend" but it always made me feel awkward. I honestly feel like I would have gotten more out of it if she had been stricter with me. But she had issues anyway, and would get really jealous when I had actual friends.

I think that as kids are growing there needs to be a definite parent/child role. But as children grow into young adults it is totaly possible to be good friends with your parents. My mother and I are very close. We talk several times each day. I would consider her to be one of my very best friends.

Absolutely its possible, from my point of view parents and children can be good friends although not always they are friends so its possible, have a nice day on mylot and happy earnings also.

Parents and children should be good friends. I believe it is one of the best way to have a healthy relationship. I am very close to my parents and we are very good friends. Of course there are limitations and it is obvious because any type of friends have limitations. Others think that there should be a gap between parents and children. Well yes, but that should not hinder them to be good friends. The gap is represented by respect. If the children have respect for their parents and the parents respect their children as well, then I don't see any problem. Friends respect each other so definitely they can be good friends.

Yes they could be best friends and could be one the best friendship example. Its just so simple. Their thinkings should match with each other.

yes ofcourse. Me and my dad are we talk each other like we are just good friends we share thoughts to each other and we have same common of interest.
