More of a parent/child or friend type relationship?
My relationship with my parents has a parent/child feel. They still love lecturing and nagging me.

With my mom more friend these days - I like it!
-
Parent-child but the other way round.
-
Friend. My mom is definitely not your typical Asian parent.
-
It's a combo and depends on what we're doing/talking about!! Sometimes it's more friendship. But other times, like when I need help or advice, it's definitely parent/child.
-
friend
-
I feel like my relationship with my parents is a little bit of both.
We like spending time together like "friends" but I go to them for parently advice often.
-
I feel like the adult, but not necessarily the parent.
-
Parent/child.
-
Sometimes I'm the mom
-
In the past 5-10 years it has taken a drastic turn.... from parent/child to friend. I like it a lot better this way!
-
Parent-child. However my sister and my mom are best friends.
-
Friend
-
I think adult parent/child. I mean... I enjoy hanging out with them and talking to them now. But I do still censor myself because they worry
-
Friend. And in recent years it was parent/child, as in I'm the parent and I was/am taking care of them.
-
Definitely parent/child still. I love it, and I would feel weird if it changed!
-
Parent Child. It is going to be very difficult as they get older and need help because they aren't going to ask for it from us kids and I think it will be hard for them to accept help as well.
-
@Cherrybee: ha same. I'm definitely more of the parent when it comes to me and my mom.
-
Hmmm I think it's more friendly than it was, but still has the parent/child vibe. I still call them if I'm in trouble and DH isn't around.
-
Parent/Child. It's gotten a lot more friendly over the past few years, but it is still very much a parent/child relationship.
-
@Cherrybee: same.
-
I'd say 60% friend, 40% parent-child.
-
With my dad, parent/child.
With my mother, friends. -
Parent/child with my mom but the roles are reversed. Me and my dad are definitely more friends.
-
My mom still parents me, but we are friends too.
Dad is a friend but he backseat drives my life from time to time.
-
My mom pushes to parent me, but my dad is on a friend level now. Me and my mom get along swimmingly when she's not in parent mode.
-
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.
-
Mostly friend, which is interesting to me because my mom was very vocal that “parents are NOT their children’s friends” growing up. She still feels that way, and I agree - - until you’re an adult, and then it turns into ideally a respectful friendship.
She does totally mom-nag me though about trivial things.
