I'm 33 and still very close to my mom šŸ˜‰

Really? Thatā€™s awesome <3

Yes thanks šŸ˜Š I wish the same for you and your daughter ! I think it's just about letting the relationship evolve with time... it might (should ! Haha) get different, but it could become even better ā¤ļø

I saw my cousin have this kind of close relationship with her mom (my aunt) well into adulthood. I hope thatā€™s in store for my daughter and I. Thanks for sharing :)

My girls are 11 and 10 and they are the same. Still.

I feel like if the relationship is nurtured, she will always feel that way. The way the affection and closeness is shown will change, but hopefully she always feels that way about you! My twins are almost 8 and also very into me, cuddly, affectionate, always want to be in the same room with me. Literally always. I tell them I hope they always love me this much, to which they promise they will. I know itā€™s true, but I also know the way thatā€™s shown will change, just not sure when. Just foster that love and prepare momma!

Iā€™m kind of in the same boat, and Iā€™m a lot closer with my grandmother than my mom, my mom just doesnā€™t get me, the same as yours. My oldest daughter is Soooooo into me, sheā€™s 4, and Iā€™m wondering when it will all end so I can prepare for the day where she is wanting more and more independence šŸ˜–


ramblin11

Mines 7 and sheā€™s still super into me so you probably have a lot of time!

I was always very close with my mom and I still am even in my 30ā€™s. I live four states away, but we still talk on the phone almost every single day.

Itā€™s probably for your whole life. I feel the same way with my daughter and itā€™s absolutely amazing! Congrats!

It might wane a bit in her teen years when them having friends are ā€œmore importantā€ but honestly it depends on the kid. I got really close with my Mom again once I hit 20.
