Is it normal to tell your mom everything?

I'm a teenager, and my mom's 46. I tell her everything that goes on in my life, my friends lives, and all the latest gossip at school. I guess you could say that I'm popular at my school, though my class only has 20 kids in it. So I have alot of friends. But my mom is by far my best friend. And several of my friends have the same relationship with their mom or dad. So yes, this is totally normal.

I tell my mother everything. Down to the last gritty detail. Some think it's weird but I feel it's normal. She gives me guidance and advice and helps if she can. She has kept me from doing stupid things by letting me open up to her and has also been there to care. I have done some stupid things but she didn't stop me just let me learn on my own then gently asks me what I learned. Never says I told you so just stands by me like a true friend. Trust me your daughter will thank you some day. Your a great mom.

I'm 22 and I did this all through high school. I still tell my mom a lot of stuff. Through h.s I know by telling her things it kept my grounded and helped me make the right decisions! NORMAL!

Idk if it's normal. Definently rare. I'm 17. I wish I could talk to my mom like that...just don't pressure her or expect it to keep happening. She might realize how strange it seems and stop though

it's not creepy...pffft kids! I'm 30 and when I was a young girl I had the same relationship with my mom...still do! Totally normal and you are both lucky! It's a matter of trust. You've got a great kid and thanks for being a rare yet great parent!

I’m a teenager. I tell my mom EVERYTHING and by everything I mean like everything. It’s totally normal and a very healthy relationship. I love that I can tell my mom anything. Like even the biggest mistakes I’ve done or all the crazy things I do at school. That doesn’t mean she’s a bad mother. She cares about my grades and stuff but she’s still a fun mom. I’m sure your daughter is so thankful to have you!

I think its normal im 22 and Im soo close with my mum too i smoke in front of her tell her what i did when i went outside and tell her the truth i tell her if i smoked weed anything that happened at least she trusts me more like my father i love her but i hate my dad he doesn't give a fuck about me she cares she's the only one that's the only that helping me she gives me money i have no friends i only have one friends he's born in 1954 He's better than my father he cares for me he buys me coffee he bought me a phone at least he cares my whole life my dad didn't buy me any clouths he just buy's me cheap trash. while he take care of him self well.he never bought me a phone or asked me what i need. he doesn't even ask where am i if i stay later night outside expect my mum. oh well maybe this is stupid to share but i kept it inside my whole life.

That's normal, my mom had my sister when she was almost 40 and my sister tells her everything you described and more. Just be sure you are being her mother. Don't start to party with her when she gets older. Many can be her friend but only you can be her mom.

Not so much anymore (as I've grown up) but I had a very open & honest relationship with my mum when I was a teen.

Whether it was about smoking cigarettes, experimenting with drugs, having sex, etc

i barely tell my mum anything, ur lucky u have a good relationship with ur daughter. my mum doesnt care if i drink or have sex or anything the only thing im not allowed to do it smoke and do serius drugs but i dont do any of them things exept drink, i think the reason im not bothrd about doing it is coz im allowed lol im 16

Thanks, all!

It's not normal but it's a wonderful thing my relationship with my mother is pretty good (i'm 13) but not that close, your daughter sounds like a good kid she reminds me of my friend she is very close to her mother also just like you and even i talk to her more than my real mother

Good to have that kind of relationship. Definitely a blessing. Beers at the last sleep over? Not a big deal, just kids being kids and experimenting.

Well I guess that's good.. I can't tell my mom anything cause she always judges me.. We have a love-hate relationship but most of the time I feel like she honestly hates me. She claims she wants the best for me but she is waaaay strict. It's good to have a good relationship with your mom/daughter.

Stop her now before it's too late!!!
OK, so I know what you're about to think when you read this, but I'm 18, my girlfriend is 17, and she does this ALL THE TIME. However, she has a tendency to stretch the truth a little. For instance, her mom is ridiculously strict with her. One day coming home from school, she got a message from her mom saying that she needed to be home at 4, when just the day before, her mom said she could be with me until 6. Upon confronting her mom on this matter, her mom became infuriated and demanded she be home at 4 with no other reason than "because I said so." With that, I told my gf that her mom had too much of a restraint on her and that she needed to allow her to live her own life (in so many words). This caused her to cry, stating that I should break up with her, making it easier for my life. I was too infuriated to reply. Mistake #1. When I arrived at her house to drop her off, she requested I come inside and calm her. I denied because of the fact that I couldn't stand to see her mom at the time. She went in, tears and all as I drove off. I then returned seconds later, feeling sorry for her. Mistake #2. When I went in, her mom came, almost running, down the hallway screaming her head off at me because of the fact that my girlfriend told her that she was the reason why I didn't love her. I stayed there for an hour sorting everything out, and now we are on friendlier terms, but none of that would have happened unless she did not tell her mom.
All I'm saying is that I got into a lot of trouble for something that I tried to avoid. Yes, I did badmouth her mother, but I eventually would have calmed down enough to take it back(I'm not one to hold grudges).
In any case, I'm sorry that this was so long, and I hope to only help.

I think you two have a great relationship with lots of love, communication, trust and respect for one another. Why anyone would want to criticize that is beyond me. Its special and unique.

She comes to you for guidance & direction. You are not one of those awful parents who despise, bully, hit and humiliate their children just to control them.

Good on you.

I would never take parenting advice from Secretlysafe.
This is her own IIN post: http://isitnormal.com/story/is-it-normal-to-hate-your-step-child-51713/

I don't know if its normal or not, but its good that you two have open communication. That being said, you still need to be Mom first & have rules & guidelines. Don't worry so much about being the cool mom. It'll benefit her in the future!

Thanks everyone, is amazing how helpful just hearing others opinions really is!
One said that she has enough friends and that she needs a mom. I totally agree and in our relationship she knows that I'm her mom. She knows that we have rules nd consequences and she ha been grounded or had her phone taken away before. She just seems to like to tell me things and I'm glad I can be there for her. I'm sure that probably sooner than later it will end, but I'm glad no one thinks that this is a bad thing! I had her at 17 and have always been afraid of messing her up psychologically! Lol, I wish they came with instructions!

She has lots of friends, she needs u to be her mom :)

well i'd say it's a bit creepy. :D i'm 16 myself and i tell a lot of stuff to my mom, but not all, god help me not all! it's no harm practically, if you don't get into that stuff. so don't interfere. well, she'll understand some day that it's nerdy and weird :D no offense. as i did looking at a mentally handicap using a fork like i did (i used it in a fist... :/) and after that, i never ate like that again.

so it's no harm, until she feels circled out, if YOU interfere.
