Is it normal to have friends that act as if they were your parents?
I am not saying this in a bad way. Most of the time these friends' attitude is positive. They might nag every now and then, but they also help you a lot when you need it or give you some tough advice.
I just find it surprising how in a group of people the of the same age, sometimes someone decides to take the "parental" role in some way.
So, is it normal?
