Mother's and Daughter's
Some of them can be best friends, mortal enemies or just "call when you need something" type relationships. Mine with my mom? Crazy fun, irritating as hell, unconditional love, laughter, compassion and on and on.
Mom and I have a pretty good relationship. Yes, we both get on each other's last nerve sometimes but for the most part we get along just fine. It hasn't always been like this though. Growing up as a teen you want to be as far away from authority as possible but when growing up and going through what life throws at you she was always there ready to listen, give advice, help in some way or just to get on my nerves. Some things just never change, do they;o)
I guess I've been one of the lucky ones, having a mother like mine. Of coarse, looking back I see a lot of similarities between us as far as raising kids. But, I also see some differences too. The world is always evolving and change is just a part of it all. I guess that would be a good reason for seeing the differences between us. Mom didn't have to deal with texting or Ipods, fake nails and hair coloring. Clothes that cost more than your first born or the more relaxed non-caring attitude of today's kids.
Looking back when I thought things were just so tough, I see that they really weren't. I made things difficult for myself by the choices I made. I guess we could have had a better relationship back then and I'm not saying that we didn't. I just didn't feel as close to her then as I do now. Why? Who knows, but I'm definitely not complaining.
