Can You Really Be Friends With Your Mom? 🤔

Ever tried to bond with your mom over her obsession with gardening, only to realize you’re allergic to everything green? That’s me. Growing up, my mom was the rule-setter, the curfew-enforcer, and the queen of unsolicited advice. But now that I’m older, I’m learning that friendship with a parent is a weird, wonderful dance. We started small—sharing coffee, trading stories about our day, and even disagreeing (without slamming doors). I learned to listen, not just hear her, and she started asking for my advice on tech stuff (hello, role reversal!). Sure, she still forgets to call before dropping by, but I’ve set my boundaries, and she’s learning. We’re not BFFs, but we’re something real—two imperfect people figuring out this friendship thing, one awkward hug at a time. 🌱💬 FamilyDynamics #ParentChildBond #GrowingTogether #SettingBoundaries #FamilyDynamics #ParentChildBond #GrowingTogether #SettingBoundaries #FamilyRelationships
