She still feels that way, and I agree - - until you’re an adult, and then it turns into ideally a respectful friendship.</p> <p>She does totally mom-nag me though about trivial things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-relationship-with-your-parents#post-1806365 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 15:34:26 +0000 mrs. bird 1806365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mostly friend. i wouldn't be able to tolerate them telling me what to do, i didn't listen to them lecture me when i was younger, not about to start now. i have no problem saying, 'that's not something that i'm open to discussing' and they are really good about respecting it. they do still spoil me though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-relationship-with-your-parents#post-1806353 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 15:27:30 +0000 Dandelion 1806353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom pushes to parent me, but my dad is on a friend level now.
