i've had friends before but i always lose them one way or another. the only people who can ever truly understand me are my parents! they are cool people, we like all of the same stuff and i would rather hangout with them than anyone else. i know i should be moving out soon and the thought of it makes me cry ! is this weird?
I'm 20 and my parents are my best friends as well, especially my mom. They're the only people who truly understand me and love me unconditionally.
I am just like you! I'm the same way. And I thought I was the only one. I'm 19, but it seems like I enjoy myself so much better with my parents. I actually spend most of my time with my parents. Plus, they understand me better. I've had friends before, and I still have people who ask me to hang out with them, but I feel like I don't really like many people who are my same age, or around my same age. They all seem to be into things that I couldn't care less about. All they like is partying, drinking, drugs, etc. Even their taste in music kinda sucks.
But parents, and people who are in their late 20's early 30's are so much better and easier for me to associate with. They seem so much more mature, and actually seem to care more. And I'm 19 too, Ahah!! I'll be 20 this month though, but I totally feel the same. You are not alone. It's pretty cool. You're just family oriented, that's all.
I'm gonna be moving out too, but the thing is, I can stay away from my parents for a while too, so I think when I leave it won't be so hard, but you're so right. And it's great that you have a bond like that. And if I'm not hanging with my parents, family, or the older adults... I'm usually just alone. And sometimes I think I would just rather be alone then with most of the people who are my age.
others may say this is not right but i dont, have fun hang round with yr cool family if you like
I LOVE my family and although we're not all "best friends", they truly are the only people I can be with every single day without problems.
You are lucky to have a family like that, I'm 19 too but I'm not like that with my parents, they are both divorced and I'm just not as close to my parents the way I used to be when I was younger.
My family is definitely the only thing I can depend on. My friends have come and gone over the years, but my parents have never once wavered in their love and support for me. If yours do that too, then they should be your best friends.
Some people don't appreciate what their parents have done for them, and others aren't lucky enough to experience a great family life. Enjoy yours. You're lucky. And remember this when you have kids.
I'm 30 and my mom and I have always been close. I would definitely consider her one of my best friend. We talk about everything. She use to go out to the strip clubs and bars with me and my friends. She was just like part if the group. She's not that crazy embarrassing mom that gets drunk and acts like she's 21 again. Either way yes it's normal. I love hanging out with both my parents.
This is just great! My son is 12 (will be 13 soon) and one of my dearest held thoughts is that we will continue our strong relationship through his teenage years - I hear so many mothers saying 'can't wait til they are old enough to move out!' and that makes me feel sad for them. And for their children. I'm glad there are people like you around, it gives me hope for the future =)
Yeah, I love my family.. Friends are fine, but family is the best place to depend on..
I think its fine , you are lucky, i hated my mam i couldnt wait too get as far away from her as i could .
