I just turned 27 and I don't think my mother has accepted the fact that I am an adult.
I don't have an open relationship with my parents about most things that go on in my life because frankly I don't think my mother wants to know half the things that I do. "Being that she is a great Christian"
But when I do have kids someday I would like for my child to feel that they can come and talk to me about anything good or bad.
Because at the end of the day your parents are always in your corner, I wouldn't want them running to somebody else for help or advance when I'm right here.... And they are pushed in the wrong direction
My relationship with my parents is ammicable, no real beef, but its not open either. I treat is much like the military does homosexuals, 'Don't ask, don't tell'. Basically my parents what I want them to know and no more.
I really don't know when my parents accepted me as an adult, but I cut the cord when I was about 17 when I left for college. At that point they really had no choice but to take a hands off approach and let me sink or swim.
I don't think I want to discuss sexual activity with my parents. However, I don't hide it! I don't leave it to them to make the decision on accepting me as an adult. I simply point all conversations in that direction. I have a pretty understanding and open relationship with both of them but again I chose to make it like that. If you leave it up to them they will always treat you as "their little girl/boy"
I have a wonderful and open relationship w/my DAD. Yes, I am still daddy's little girl at 39. It was hard to type 39 bc Im that close to 40. Thanks again for the b-day shout outs.
But my mother and I are more like friends. My parents divorced wen I was 12 and I chose to stay w/my Dad. I just had a 7 day cruise w/my mom and I tried to get a little close but no cigar. We just don't bond like I do w/my Dad.
I am fortunate to have had a great relationship with my mother since I can remember. I have always been able to tell her whats on my mind and heart. That is the same way with my brothers as well.
I left home at 18 and except for going back home for a very brief period I have been on my own. It took her until I was about 20 to realize I was out trying to be a man and she had to accept it..
