Topic: Evolving relationship between parent and child.. | |
---|---|
So I don't have kids of my own, but I have noticed that at some point, the relationship between my mom and I evolved from Mother/daughter relationship to a weird adult friendship where sometimes I mother her and other times,she mothers me.
Has that transition taken place between you and your young adult kids? And if so, do you enjoy the bond you share with your kids as adults more than you enjoyed that disarming bond in the parent/ child dynamic? |

With some it is a great treat with some it is a royal pain in the you can guess. |

The amazing thing about becoming a single dad was that I went from a "dad" to my kids best friend. We shared everything, music, movies, fishing, karate and everything in between. My son was my best friend and soulmate. Even at the age of 16 when most kids "rebel" against parents he would come into the house with his friends in tow and still give me a big hug and tell me he loves me..he didn't care what his friends thought..He was an incredible, independent young man and my only TRUE love! |

ABOUT THE MOTHERING (PARENTING) THERE IS TWO TYPES THE FIRST IS ''THE NURTURING PARENT'' AND THEN THERE IS ''THE CRITICAL PARENT''...IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU TWO NURTURE EACH OTHER,, AND THATS GREAT..MOST OF THE TIME THE ONES WITH CRITICAL PARENT TYPES THE PARENT BECOMES A ''PIG PARENT''..AND THE CHILD BECOMES ONE ALSO AS IT GROWS UP.... |
