My mom and I are pretty close =]
We do fight often when it comes to schoolwork and homework and stuff. I mean, it's really my fault and I try not to, but I get upset easily when I'm told to do something I don't want to. Unfortunately, that's how I am, and I'm trying to help it.
I remember many times though, I would have something bothering me to the point where it'd make me sick to the stomach. Whether it was health issues, spiritual issues, friend issues, ect. I'd go to her and tell her what was up and start crying mid sentence. So she'd pull me into a hug and we'd talk it all out & I always feel 110% better afterwards. And it still happens to this day. =]
You know, you can go to your friends, you can go to your boyfriend, you can go to your brother or sister, you can go to anyone for help---but there's always that strong bond you're gonna always have with your mom.
On a side note: I can't stand it when I hear on reality tv shows, or around my friends when they diss their parents. I mean: HELLO? PARENTS. They raised you. They live with you. They LOVE you.
It can't get any better than that. Blood is thicker than water, that's my family motto (for me at least).
