Is it normal that my mother talks to me like i am a friend?

Hi. I'm not worried or anything, I really enjoy my mother talking to me like this, but I don't know if it is normal. You see, I'm the oldest of three, and I spend the most time with my mother. She has been talking to me more like a friend then a daughter when we are alone (No dad around). I have always been more mature, so I can reply to her like I was a friend. I talk to her both as a friend and a mom. She has once said that it isn't really normal, but we still talk like this. I was just wondering if this is normal ^-^

    Although I could never be friends with my parents, I always thought your situation was normal.

        The thought of being friends with a parent is strange to me, but normal for others:P I love your name btw:D!

    It can be normal, but it depends. If your mom is expecting you to provide adult emotional support, and if she's been expecting that since you were a child, then that's unhealthy. Otherwise, it seems fine.

    I think it's normal, and it's good to have a good relationship with your mother. Mothers always know best. Talk and spend as much time as you can with her, make nice and happy memories so you'll be a good parent like she is.

    its totally normal, im the same with my mum shes more like a friend and sister rather than a mother, and its really good this way because i can tell her things without being scared that she might blow up unlike other parents, also shes a great mother cause she has boundaries =)

    I've never had that kind of relationship wit my mom. But i kind of have it with my dad, not like he is a friend, but an open minded and cool dad. Not to the point where i share things to him that i'd share with my close friends. but i feel free to talk to him. I guess your situation is normal. :)

    I have that kind of relationship with my mom. Of course there are moments when we don't get along, but when we do she's like a friend to me. I say it's totally normal.

    I hate when my mom tells me she's in need of some cock.
