I am very close to her ,and i love her very much . i always take care of her when she needs me and feel bad when she's feeling sad ,i tell her alot of things and well she could be my friend if she was my age , i am in my late twenties and she's 60 .

    Normal. I'm 21 and my mom's 54. We get along really well, but I wish she could be younger because she hates getting older. She gets tired more easily and she worries a lot about her appearance (like getting lines and wrinkles on her face). I think she's beautiful just the way she is, but she feels ugly. I blame society for making the older generation feel ashamed to age naturally.

    Self-image issues aside, the biggest reason why I wish my mom was younger is because I know that with every year that goes by, she keeps getting closer to death. I am dreading that day with all my heart, because I know it will wreak havoc on me emotionally and psychologically. I'll never be the same without her.

    Yes, it is normal. I am also very close to my parents and don't like the thought of them getting old. I'm lucky enough to have young parents, but I still worry about it. I'm 29 and my mom will turn 50 this year. For some reason her turning 50 bothers me!

    I dont think necessarily wrong but its not right either, if your mum was 10years younger she wouldnt be the same person. My mum is exactly that type of woman who sometimes rarely complains about ageing but thats something ive grown to love about her, since we can sit there and have a laugh that were both old fuckers. I can't deny that id love to do a back to the future and see my parents when they were younger but just a glimpse, i adore my parents for who they are today,
