Mums

[Epiphany74]

Is it possible for a mum and daughter to be friends? Mine drives me mad ... she has an opinion on everything and is always offering advice. This is a perfectly motherly thing to do I suppose - but aaargh ... she makes me so frustrated. I want to be better friends with her but being in her company always makes me feel worse, not better.

Thank you all. This makes me feel a lot better about our relationship. Sense4all - spot on, I think you could be right! As an only child there is just me to take the advice. I'm going to try you technique and see if it helps. One last comment though, it's really difficult to ignore advice from your mother, even if you believe it is wrong. Somewhere in the back of my head a wee nagging voice is saying, "Do as your mum tells you"!
