How is your relationship with your mother?

16 comments

1. Love her at a distance. That’s the best way to make my answer short and sweet

2. Im 36. She is somewhere out there in the distance.

3. She died like 10 years ago, so

4. Basically, it involves getting yelled at and henpecked and nitpicked all day long with a heavy dose of guilt on top, and favoring the other siblings

5. The further away from my family I am, the more I love them.

6. Awesome. Took a while but through health communication in my late teens we have healthy boundaries now. She respects my privacy and adulthood and I do the same for her. She made mistakes raising me and I certainly wasn’t the nicest, did my fair share of immature and silly things growing up which greatly stressed her. It’s all in the past and I can honestly say my mom is one of my best friends now, nothing but love for her.

7. Great actually! Honestly as far as mothers go I can’t complain. She’s always felt like a friend in a way and while we bumped heads in the past, I think our relationship has gotten even better since i became a adult. I hear from her about everyday

8. The only woman that has ever loved me unconditionally. And I really appreciate her for doing so.

9. Good and built on trust, she’s often either the first or second (the other person is my sister, and it depends on the topic) to know about important things in my life.

10. Good, in very small doses she’s fine.

11. It’s good.

12. nice try, mom

13. I love my Mom. I put her before me. The only problem I have is that I’ve gotten too old for her to be able to solve my problems for me, so now our conversations boil down to “yes mum I ate, yes I exercised, yes I’m healthy, yes studies is going well, love you too, take care mum love you”.

14. We haven’t spoken in almost a year, so not great

15. Pretty good. We sometimes butt heads, but there’s mutual respect.

16. Its good. I respect and love her, despite disagreeing with her every so often. Ditto with my father.

    My goal in life is to take care of them as they get older: they have done so much for me and I would like to repay them in kind.
