10! I call her a couple times a day usually, when I have random news or things that happened in my day (good things)
Pro
I love it hehe
Honestly, 15! She was my soulmate, she died in 2015 and I miss her everyday. I would start and end my day talking to her. I wish she was here now..
and I’m so sorry you lost you mother. Know that she continues to live in you and your thoughts and actions!
20! I’m F32 and couldn’t imagine life without her. I had crappy luck in the dad department (biological dad died when I was 2, stepdad was emotionally abusive) but mum has been my rock through everything, even though she had her own share of trauma.
She taught me life values, and is a role model career woman. I watched her restart her career and get to dizzying heights but she has always, ALWAYS made time for me.
Most importantly, she has supported all my decisions and always given me the freedom to take risks without fear of repercussions.
Yes, she did. She modeled what she taught me — to not take shit from anyone.
9. It used to be a 10 before I started dating another girl. She doesn’t disapprove and is nice to my GF but she’s less enthusiastic about the relationship on the whole and that makes me less enthusiastic to bond with her more bc it makes me sad.
10. I know it’s not common, but it’s special. She’s pretty much like my little sister. She’s always been supportive but I’ve been more adventurous and more of a risk-taker.
No
A solid 4.5. She drinks too much and starts acting a fool. We only get along when she’s sober, which is probably once a week… if that. I wish I had a good relationship with my mom, especially when I see other ppl with wonderful mother/daughter relationships. 😔
Im there with you, I see all these other people having great relationships with their mother and feel so sad about it

9.7 F. The 0.3 is for the many times she brings up marriage 'without bringing up marriage' and her obsession with having clean windows, and well organized shelves everytime I take a long vacation and visit her. 🤣 I am her designated window cleaner, yet I pay her cleaning lady's salary (Comes in every for 8hrs 6days a week) 🤣.
Im a female and my relationship with my mother is about a 3. She’s done some unforgivable things to me that most people would never talk to her again. She’s completely homophobic but in the last 6 years her health has gone south so she calls everyday and attempts to have the bestie relationship but cant help herself but to be mean and cruel. My mother is narcissistic however I’m still there for her because im an only child
I’m sorry you’re going through this. This is like mental torture because you want to cut them off but then feel guilty for wanting to do it.
I’m a M. I’d say the relationship is a 7. We honestly don’t talk that much and can go months without talking. We are very much alike and need space. She’s not the typical mother by a long shot. She never cooked homemade meals and wasn’t affectionate growing up. I didn’t realize that wasn’t normal until college. We take a yearly trip for her birthday and go wherever we she wants. We enjoy our time together and if she ever wants to see me she’ll text me about something and that’s the signal that she wants to see me in person. It’s not the norm but it works for us.
Solid 9
Female. 10
32M…4? Surprised I’m responding, but even though there are hundreds of responses (perhaps because there are so many) there is something really relieving about being able to say it. 4! Possibly 3. She’s manipulative and screens my calls. Missed my birthday a couple times and just… never said anything lol
My mother-in-law is a saint. Solid 8! Actually treats me like a son.
10. I call my mother at least 2 times a day. I always like to know how my parents are doing all the time.

8 - we're close and love spending time together but definitely don't talk about everything or want to spend 24/7 together

8 but i like a little distance so wouldn’t want to be besties. Our relationship is pretty ideal but at the end of the day I’m just more similar to my dad and get along better with him.
