Why My Parents Are My Best Friends

Not many are fortunate enough to get to call their parents their best friends, in their lifetime. When I was younger, I used to laugh whenever my Dad would tell me “Your Mother and I are your best friends because we truly love you as the person you are.” I thought it was silly to say that my parents were my true friends, how embarrassing would it be if I went and told people that? They would probably laugh at me behind their backs or just call me naïve, stupid or someone without any friends. As a result, being young and too proud, I decided to ignore their comment by telling myself that parents are parents, and they can never be your friends.

How wrong was I, and I really wish I had understood back then.

In life not everyone is lucky enough to have parents who care about their child’s life. Your parents start taking care of your life from the very first day they find out that you’ll be coming into this world. Their love is created for you because you are a part of them, a gift you can say, as a result of their shared love. Your parents start loving you, even before knowing anything about you. Is there anyone in this world who you think would love you so much, without even knowing who you are?

My parents love me regardless of all the mistakes I have made, regardless of all the pain I have caused them, growing up. I can talk about anything I want with them, without them making fun of me or talking about me behind my back. My parents always want the best for me. This is why, my Mom and Dad are my best friends. I love you guys, and I’m sorry, now I know I was wrong.

if you think that's disturbing, look up awkward family photos. i got a calendar and some of the pictures are straight up creepy (and absolutely hilarious) :D

I feel the same. They're everything for me.

Lovely story there. I was lucky to have two loving parents like you, but sadly i lost my dad in January this year. I've just got this big hole now i just can't fill. You just keep loving them like you are, because you don't what you've got till its gone.

[SovereignessofVamps]

Does it comfort you at all to know he's still alive somewhere? Like heaven/afterlife?

[19ian69]

Yes it does comfort me very much. And I've got all my happy memories of him that no one can take away from me.

[SovereignessofVamps]

xD I'm glad about that then.

[Josht11]

Reallyyy? do you not act totally different around your friends and parents I know I do, I couldn't talk to my parents like I do with my friends or talk about the stuff I do with my friends.

[Remembermyname4]

Of course there are some things you will only talk about with your friends, but what my message is that you should always talk about your true feelings with your parents, who always want the best for you.

[Josht11]

Well I don't even like my parents and they definitely aren't my friends who actually like similar things to me have similar experiences and we can talk easily it's just more awkward with parents.

[Remembermyname4]

I understand why it would be awkward for you right now, but it lessens as you get older. Like it did for me.

[Hollywood-Glam]

My mom would tell me that she is my best friend, lol. I'll tell her "nah, you're my mom". After all, a mother is more valuable than a best friend. Friendships can end but mom will always be mom.
Cool take :)

[Psi_Unknown]

I guess it is a good thing that your parents were your best friends?

[TadCurious]

Great myTake. You described your sense of gratitude really, really well.

[John_Doesnt]

Lucky you for having loving, living parents. Most of us don't have that.

[SovereignessofVamps]

I think most people do. Although. mental illness is really common now.

[John_Doesnt]

@SovereignessofVamps no they don't. Go to the ghetto and tell me most people have loving, living parents.

[SovereignessofVamps]

Their parents would still be living... and they'd love then in their own ways.

[John_Doesnt]

@SovereignessofVamps such an ignorant statement by a spoiled brat. Those kids get beaten, neglected and even sold as sex slaves. There is no love.

[SovereignessofVamps]

It's ignorant to think that abuse happens to just them don't you think? Many many parents in the middle class treat their kids like that. But all of the abused kids and people I've met always adored their families although I don't know exactly why. I mentioned mental illness before... I'm just repeating myself now.

[John_Doesnt]

@SovereignessofVamps no it's ignorant to assume that all people adore their families. It's also ignorant to base your understanding of the world based only on the people you've personally met.

[SovereignessofVamps]

Im not saying they should. They should hate them.

[Izzex3]

My parents used to always tell me that they were NOT my friends.
Lol.

[RicanEyes]

That's wonderful!-:-)
