What kind of a relationship do you have with your mom?

Question

My mom and I have a very.... volatile relationship. Sometimes, we are like the best of friends, but we spend most of the time fighting over the silliest things.
What kind of a relationship do you have with your mom?

Answer 1

a not so good, but not a bad one either. i usually talk back to her and i did stuff that made her cry, but it was her fault too. i mean she'd been great, but i'm growing up i need space to be left alone and not to be order and stay in one place all the time.

Answer 2

I don't have a very good relationship with my mother. Volatile is a good word. I find that the less I see her the better I get along with her. One of my earliest memories is thinking that in order to have a better life I needed to be different from my mother. I thought that she created her own problems. I am very different from my mother and we don't get along because of it. She thinks I judge her all the time, which is probably true. However, I'm happily married and very settled in life and my mother isn't. So, like I said, we see each other rarely and then we can appreciate each other properly.

Answer 3

Mine used to be very volatile too. My mom tends to make herself the victim in situations... I decided to put a distance between us. I can still go to her if I have the need, but for the most part we are just civil. I don't live with her anymore and that really helped the relationship a lot.

Answer 4

My mother and I get along much better now I am an adult. Leaving for college after high school was the best thing I could have ever done. I realize later on in life everything she did/or say was because she was what best for me. Now that I'm a mama, I hope my son and I get along better than I did with my mom when I was younger!

Answer 5

today was the first time i was around my mom for more than 15 minuets, without fighting. that was mostly because extended family was around for Christmas.
i was raised by my grandparents, and rescently moved in with my mom and stepdad. i'm trying to give her a chance and build a better relationship with her, but that's much easier to say than do.
try to remember not to sweat the small stuff, or fight about petty things. your parents won't live forever. life's to short to hold grudges.
these are all words of advice from my grandma. maybe they'll help you too. happy holidays.

Answer 6

A great relationship- we are almost like sisters- I can talk to her about anything and we've never had an argument.

Aside from my husband my mom is my best friend!

Answer 7

I adore my mom. She has been through a lot in her life and has remained strong throughout. I actually consider her my hero.
We haven't always had the best of relationships, but we do get along great now. :)

Answer 8

My mother died when I was 16. I still miss her. I do have a good relationship with my daughter (she's 20), and I'm thankful for that. I love doing things with her or just talking to her. I'm very proud of her and tell her so regularly :)

Answer 9

we get along good, we tell each other every thing. we don't keep things from each other. I can't be away from her for more then a week. if I am I call her like every day and choke up over the phone. but still we argue every day it never fails. the things we argue about are so insane. but at the end of the day its like "love you see you tomorrow"

Answer 10

She was just 19 when she had me. In many ways she's like an inspirational older sister. Mom rocks!
