I had a very, very good relationship my mom.

She was a housewife. She didn't drive but we would walk or take the bus places together. We would play games and read books. She taught me a lot. She volunteered to serve lunches at my grammar and high schools, helped me with school work and projects, and was involved with my education. She always had my back.

She could be a bit overprotective when I was young, but not too much so. I actually had a lot of freedom.

She supported my phase of having pet snakes and reptiles when I was a kid.

She was a lot of fun. We were best friends and I confided everything to her.

In contrast to my dad, she was really hip about keeping up with trends and buying the kinds of clothes I wanted to wear, even weird late-60s fashions. She was okay with me growing my hair long in high school even though my dad threw a fit. She came to appreciate the kinds of music I was into and even stood in line to buy me rock concert tickets when I wasn't available to do it myself. Other kids thought she was a really cool mom.

She and my dad bought me my first guitar. About a year later, they gave me my first electric guitar and amplifier. They both encouraged my music and paid for lessons.

She finally got her driver's license when I was 15 and would drive me and my friends when ever we needed a ride. She drove us to the beach a lot, especially when we learned how to surf.

They gave me my first car when I got my license.

She bought me a subscription to Playboy Magazine when I was 16 or so. LOL

She accepted my girlfriends and was okay with me taking them into my bedroom during the day or evening. I even brought them to family gatherings.

She instilled good ethics and trusted my judgement.

When I started smoking weed in high school, she didn't give me a big hassle even when my friends and I smoked in my room. I guess she thought it was better than being a boozer or druggie. My dad couldn't smell, so he just thought it was cigarettes. Plus, while my mom knew everything I did, he chose to remain blissfully ignorant. LOL
I even grew some plants in our back yard for a couple of years and she helped.
She thought Cheech and Chong records were funny, although she never saw any of the movies.

She helped me decorate my bedroom tastefully psychedelic.

She helped me find some of my jobs.

She protected me when I got in trouble.

When I finally grew up, we did lots of things together. I remember large harvest festivals, in particular.

Those are just a few memories.

She died of cancer at age 72 in 1996 when I was 42. I miss her a lot.

Normal relationship. A lot of yelling and criticism of me. LOL

but it helped me be humble early on and learn to accept criticism and not be sensitive to it.

My mom has blessed me a lot. She's far from the most affectionate and emotionally supportive mother but my mom is a good person and I know she loves me and I definitely love my mother despite her faults and some of her mistakes raising me.

The perfect mother or father doesn't exist.

Yes, I had a reasonably good relationship with my mother, though she was not educated and did not know what to do with an intellectually gifted child.

I’ve had the best relationship in the whole entire world not only is she my mother she’s my best friend of all times. The same thing with my father and my brother

ArtemisSilver · Answer

No, but there were a few bright spots. Life can be a messed up cruel ride sometimes. Wonder where she is and if she's okay. *Sigh

exitseven · Answer

Yes, for the most part. She could be difficult at times.

Wise4myage · Answer

Yes, because she raised me and my sister on her own. Our father is useless and he abandoned us.
