Parents
What are your thoughts on being best friends with your parents?
Some people might say, “I see my mom or dad as my best friend. I can tell them everything.”
Personally, I have a bit of a problem with that statement or way of thinking (maybe because I haven’t had a good relationship with my own parents). I feel like a parent should remain a parent like someone who guides you, sets boundaries, and takes responsibility for you. Calling them your best friend almost feels like you’re “downgrading” their role as a parent somehow.
And no, I’m not saying you can’t have a good relationship with your parents or talk to them about things that bother you. Of course, that’s one of the best things you can have with a parent! But I don’t think you necessarily need to share absolutely everything with them in the same way you would with a friend, or treat each other as if you’re the same age and on the same level.
I don’t know, maybe it’s just me who sees it this way.. What do you guys think?
I don’t have problem with people that can consider, it just shows how open they can be with them. That they’re cool and comfortable around them.
There’s also some filters when a child shares to their parents just like what they are to their friends. So I doubt they will tell everything.
Must be nice tho. I have an akward relationship with...... reply
