My mom and I have a rocky relationship, we have moments when we get along, but we have more moments when we are arguing. There are a lot of things that annoy me about her and vice versa. We are not that close, she doesn't really know what is going on with me anymore, and I guess if something horrible happened I could count on her. I attribute our relationship to the fact that I'm 17, I'm establishing myself as a person (growing up and such) we have some conflicting personality traits.

One of my friends has a great relationship with her mother, they tell each other almost everything and her mom is the same with me and some of her other friends (She is also our girl scout leader so she knows us well). I believe she knows more about me than my mom. I always get a little sad and I wish my mom was like that, but my mom and I are just such different people that things I find funny she doesn't, and we don't share a taste in movies (etc. again different traits and such). So I guess I can't really answer your question that well. But I do get the taste of having a good relationship with a "mom" and it's nice.
