So my mother and I have a pretty good relationship. We talk (or text) every day without fail. For the most part, she gives me free reign and she has for a while. I'm 21, I live on my own so she can't really have that much control but even when I was 15 things weren't much different... I just lived with her.
I've had some bad experiences with guys and she put in her two cents but she never pressured me to end the relationship or anything like that. I wish I would have listened anyway but it was always my choice. I don't think it's very practical to have overprotective parents. Kids are exposed to so much these days so they know quite a bit.
She knew when I was having sex, and she offered to put me on birth control. I think that's a pretty open mother. I guess she figures I'm going to do what I want and if we maintain a good relationship I'll come to her if I need to. And she knows I won't smoke or do drugs or anything like that so I think that helps. If she thought I was up to no good I don't think I'd be living on my own.
Even though I can do my own thing I still like to have her approval so I think our relationship works very well. I think that after kids graduate high school they should work to make their parents proud and that's what I'm trying to do (and hopefully succeeding). She's done a lot for me so now it's my turn to do something for her.
I have to go and try to eat. I'm not looking forward to this. I have to buy pepto bismol is bulk and no one should have to ever do that.
