[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom and I are close, but we aren’t best friends. I always found that creepy. She is my mother, and was never interested in being a friend.  [/quote]

This.

I love my mom - she’s got her issues (as we all do) but overall she’s pretty awesome. We have fun together and generally get along well. But she’s MY MOM. I am not talking about my sex life with her. I’m just not. I save that for my same age friends. [/quote]

This is me too.  I consider myself very close to my mom, but we don't talk about EVERYTHING.  It's still a mom/daughter relationship, not a friendship like I have with my peers.  Of course, my mom also has her own friends, so that helps.  She's supportive and generous and fun to be with.  I hope I can cultivate the same type of relationship with my kids as they get older.[/quote]

Same here.  I love my mom, she's great, we have a good relationship, and we enjoy the time we spend together.  We talk about a lot of things, but she's my mother, and there are some things we don't talk about.  [/quote]

Hmm. I don't talk about my sex life with my best friends either, not uptight or anything but what is there really to talk about unless you are having problems in that area? We definitely would laugh and joke about it or ask questions about our bodies and what the hell is going on with XYZ and stuff when we were single, etc., and then maybe again after having kids as far as body stuff/ checking in on what is normal vs. when to maybe seek some help...but now- I mean what could they possibly want or need to know about me having sex with my DH?

I COULD talk to them about something if I needed help but we really just don't[/quote]
