What Is The Best Relationship Between Parents And Children?
I believe it’s good to be their friend when their young,but,as they get into teen’s-you have to be more parent than friend -My kid’s are 22yrs.,16yrs.,& 11yrs.-I’ve been through all the stage’s & if your too much a “friend ” there come’s a time they think they can get away w/ anything-it’s kind of a balancing thing-they have to know you are there for them whenever they need you-or just need to talk,but also know that you DO lay the rule’s & expect for them to abide by them.My older girl & me had real rough teen time’s,but now, we’re best friend’s.I believe if you are more friend than mom, they are missing out-they may not tell you,but,they DO like structure from a parent. Don’t know if this helped much-but,hope it did.
