mom daughter One of the wonderful things in my opinion about having a daughter is having a forever friend, sure you can’t be just her friend especially during the teen years you have to maintain discipline and be a parent, but you can be a friend as well. Then as both of you mature, you can truly enter the friendship status, and share such special times with each other. Her wedding day, the birth of your grandchildren, and other important events and firsts in both her life and yours.

Being a mom holds a special status on its own, but it is such an honor to be a mom that your child calls “friend”. My mom is one of my “best friends” I like her will probably be a bit devastated when my daughter moves out on her own because I too hope to be that close to her.

My mom and I have traditions, traditions that stemmed back from previous generations. One of those is sharing a phone call each morning, she did this with her mom, and her mom did the same with her mom before her. Now, we do so as well. It helps to keep that forever friendship in tact.

What about you are you your daughter’s forever friend?
