Not many people can say they have a close relationship with their parents. But there are a lucky few of us who can proudly say we are best friends with ours. Having relationships with your parents that are close and loving is a blessing in disguise. Here are the 13 things that happen when you're close with your parents:

1. They're the first people you call.

Whenever something good or bad happens, they are the first people you call to tell all about it. If it's good, they will be over the moon with happiness, and if it's bad, they'll tell you everything's going to be fine.

2. They fix all your problems.

Your mom will gladly come over with all the supplies needed to nurse you back to health when you're sick and your dad will drop everything to come change your flat tire on the highway, no matter where you are.

3. You all have inside jokes.

You are constantly laughing at random songs on the radio and places you pass, because you all have a plethora of jokes only you understand.

4. You cheer for them just as much as they cheer for you.

They always say your parents are your biggest fans, but you are theirs too. When they get a promotion at work, you jump around cheering because you love it when their life is going well.

5. They know everything about you.

They know all the drama going on with your friends, your class schedule, and what you ate for lunch.

6. You regularly go on dates.

Hanging out with your parents is genuinely fun. You have probably spent many Friday nights with them going to dinner and a movie.

7. They still do things for you.

When you come home from school, they will have a home-cooked meal ready, all your favorite movies to watch, and your mom will do all your laundry for you.

8. You haven't been in a fight since your childhood.

You still argue every now and then, but the last time you all were in a real fight was when you were an angsty 13-year-old.

9. They are still your security blanket.

Just being with your parents provides so much comfort. Whenever you're in a sticky situation, you still just want your mom or dad.

10. You all are exactly alike.

Every day, you notice traits that you know you got from your parents. Every moment you're becoming more like them, and it's actually kind of creepy.

11. Your friends love them, and they love your friends.

Your friends enjoy hanging out with them just as much as you do, and your parents love when you bring them around.

12. Constantly texting.

You all text most of the day, every day, and you need to keep each other updated on everything. And when they don't answer, you have no shame texting them 16 times in a row until they do.

13. You're the luckiest person in the world.

Being close to your parents is a blessing. Not a lot of people can say they have an awesome relationship with their parents like you do. You know how lucky you are to have parents who are your best friends, and you wouldn't trade them for the world.
