I don’t know why, but as I’m growing up, my
mom is becoming my friend.

I mean…yes, my mom and I used to talk before too,
but now as I’m becoming an adult, our conversations
are increasing,

We support each other more, and even our friendship is
growing stronger.

It feels like, ‘Where was this version of my mom all these
years? This feels like something new.”

Did something like this also happen to you in adulthood,
or is it happening now?

When I was little, my mom was just a mom, like every
other mother. But now, she’s slowly becoming my friend.

Earlier, I used to get scolded for those things, but now
I get support from my mom for the very same things.

Instead of scolding me for shopping too much,
my mom has started to understand that sometimes
shopping a little extra isn’t wrong.

For the things my family members scold me about, my
mom used to scold me too, but now she has started
defending me instead.

Now neither my mom likes going shoping without me, nor
do I like going shopping without her.

Earlier, I used to buy anything whether my mom liked it
or not…but now neither she can buy anything without me,
nor can I buy anything without her.

Now we even gossip like friends, and we also yell at
each other like friends.

Now it’s not just my mom who understands me – even
I’ve started explaining things to her.

When I do something wrong, she scolds me, and when she
does something wrong, I scold her too.
As I’m growing up, our relationship is changing.

This feels so different, it never used to be like this before.

Hiding secrets from the family…doing little mischief
behind their backs…everything is changing now.

My mom doesn’t feel like just a ‘mom’ anymore – she feels
like a sister.

I’ve started understanding her, and she understands me too.

Do these changes happen to every girl as she becomes
an adult? I think yes.

Whatever it is, it’s really good and special. We girls are very
lucky in this regard. Perhaps as we grow up with our moms,
the relationship becomes not just a mother’s, but also a friends.

Maybe this happens with every mother and daughter.

I feel that every girl growing up finds a friend as experienced
as her mother, and every mother finds a mother in her
daughter who understands the new generation, right?

The relationship that used to be like that of a mother and
daughter has now somewhat changed.

It’s no longer exactly a mother-daughter relationship, nor is
it complete friendship;
something different is developing, a special bond.

Have you ever felt something like what I’m feeling these days?
