[quote=Anonymous]I can't really help, sorry. I have two sons, and I am close to them. But ever since they were young and went through the "you're not my friend anymore" phase, I used to tell them I've never been their friend, I'm their mother. One is permanent, one is not. So now we laugh about it when I say something about being their friend--they always remind me that we're not friends. :) Anyway, I tend to think that the "best friends" parents perhaps viewed the parenting role differently. I also don't think you should necessarily share the types of things with your kids that you would with an adult close friend. It might be different once your kids are also adults, but I just don't see how that works until your kids are at least in their mid 20s--and my oldest is only now 21. Interested to hear the responses from others.[/quote]
