Why My Mum Is My Best Friend

Why My Mum Is My Best Friend

Like every family, we've had our ups and downs. I was especially bad during my early teen moody years. But, my mum always stuck by me, even if we fought and were angry at each other. Now, we hardly ever fight. We do have our little moments of conflict, but pretty much every day is perfect harmony.

After raising my brother and I pretty much single handedly during the week after splitting from my dad, we've formed a great relationship. she's the bast balance between laid back and strict and we understand each other better than most others. She is one of the most important people in my life and I can't thank her enough for putting up with me. We have a mutual respect and understanding of each other, unlike the stereotypical teenage/parent relationship, and it's nice. It's nice to be able to sit and have all kinds of conversations with her and feel in a comfortable, trusting environment, similar to how we feel around school friends.

Of course we still fight about the dishes or hoovering, but who doesn't? I love that she's my best friend and will be for life, nothing will change that.
