No i never do, i don't ever talk to my mum b/c i don't trust her as she has betrayed me in the past, i decided a long time ago that when i'm older i want my children to have a better relationship with me than i do with my mum. My mum's an alcoholic though so me and my brother don't get along with her b/c she's never sober long enough to have a decent chat. When we do talk it's kind of small talk and we've never told eachother we love eachother before.Unless i wanted my secrets spread all over the neighbourhood i don't tell her nothing, it's very sad though and obviously i wish that wasn't the case but i really don't think it will ever change b/c my mum isn't prepared to.

I was never best friends with my own mother - she put herself very much in the 'I am the parent, you are the child' role. But that was a different generation.
My relationship with my own daughter is great but I have always believed in encouraging her to find her own way, whilst always being there as support for her. She now lives in another country. Of course that makes me sad and it makes her sad too that we cannot see more of each other. But she is flourishing in that environment and she has grown much more than she could here, so it was a case of that old saying: 'if you love them, let them go'.
Hurray for Skype though - we can talk for ages at least once a week!

No I am not. And I know it saddens her because i am her first born and i am close to her whilst my brothers are afar.
But i doesn't mean that i don't love her it's just that i was not brought up by her so i find it difficult to make her a shoulder to cry on. I'd rather confide in others.
Don't like going out with her coz she doesn't want to be seen old and is always trying to be stylish. I am the sort of person who doesn't want to be noticed. So after all we are different.

my parents are divorced and at 17, i switched from living with mom to living with dad. i'm 24 now, and my mother and i get along great. there's actually more to chat about when we don't live together. we don't really hang out, but when i visit her we can sit and chat for a long time. we talk on the phone, chat on msn and sometimes rent movies.
depending on ur age, it's sometimes better for the parent to be a parent first. the more friendly u get, the harder it is for the parent to set real rules and for u to take them seriously. u'll be quicker to want to negotiate because u don't see them as a serious parental figure. but as u become an adult, u can relate more to their past experiences and there's less of a generation gap.
good luck

I am extremely close to my mum and always have been. I have heart to heart conversations, and i enjoy going out with her. I always have the most fun with her, as we a similar and do similar things. I would be well and truly lost without her, she is my mum, and my best friend. I love her to pieces!! :)

I have a great relationship with my mum. I can tell her anything and she never judges. She is honest with me about things even if she knows it will upset me and she is there to pick me up when i fall.
I am also there for her to lean on when she needs me and when things are going good we can laugh together till our belly hurts and tears flow.
I have followed her lead with my daughter and hope to develop the same sort of relationship with her.
But like most mums she will 'check' me and remind me who is the parent if need be..........even tho i am 30.
