Is it normal to be bestfriends with my mother

Coming up my mother and I wasnt close. But when she got sick and I matured more we have become best friends. We do everything together. I am 20 she's 42. Shes not the tpe that wanna act young. she is very aware of her age. Neither of us like clubs so its not like we party together or go on dates together but its like we talk to eachother about any or everything...except sex of course. I just dont think thats appropriate. I dont tell her absoultely everything but just about everything. We talk our problems out. We protect eachother. I fight she fight I beef she beef. I still respect her as an adult so I dont curse at her I dont talk back im not disrespectful either. But where ever she goes I go. We even work together. We go places like shopping, to the movies, hanging outside with other mutual friends, going to dinner, getting our nails done...theings like that. Im friends with her friends and she's friends with most of mines. I guess you can say im spoiled because as soon as she come home she like to take a nap or lay in her bed and watch t.v && everyday i'm right there at the end of the bed with her. She buys me any and averthing i want. When im sick she is right there babying me. When I decided to move out she begged me to stay until I finished school. Basically my mother is my WORLD!! I would lay down and die for my mother.

So is that normal?? Where i come from mothers are either on drugs or just dont care about anything so all my friends are amazed on our friendship. But some people say I love my mother too much and we hang out too much. I would rather hang with her than most of my friends. simply because she dosent bring any drama, she wont stab me in the back and I can trust her to the fullest.

    That's awsome. I talked to my mom about everything. She unfortently died. So value what you have with your mom. And don't let any one say it's weird. They ate just jelious.

  • My mum is my best friend and I would die for her if I had to. I think that it's normal although not so many people are friends with their parents.

    But I look at it as a good thing, since you'll always have a best friend as well as a mum. :D

    My mom and I are best friends too..except I'm not afraid to discuss sex with her lol! Of course I'm 31, so when you mature I'm sure that will follow. Totally normal.

    It can be very normal and special. I'm 43 and my mom is 64 and we've been best friends my whole life. Now I have two daughters and I cherish the close bond that I am sharing with them. It's lovely to have so much fun with and respect for your mom. Remember, her love and acceptance is unconditional and she's probably your biggest fan (vise versa too). You and your mom also probably have personalities that fit very well together. The only time where it could become a problem is if/when you go out and have a family of your own. If she feels jealous or if she is a dominating kind of person, she may want to be too involved in your major life decisions; and that could pose a problem for your spouse, kids, etc.
