Since the day I was born, I have been a near replica of my mother. Not only do we look alike, but we think, act, and talk alike. She has always been one of the only people that really understands me. Over the past few years, we have become incredibly close and are great friends. She is the first person that I call in celebration or in heartbreak. And when you and your mom are as close as me and mine, you get some pretty awesome added benefits.
1. Absolute Honesty
If your mom is anything like mine, she doesn’t hold back. She will be brutally honest with me, probably because she knows I will never go anywhere.
2. Incredible Advice
The thing about being best friends with your mom is that you don’t have any secrets. I know that I can come to my mom about anything and she will give me the best advice. After all, she has probably been in a similar situation.
3. A Drinking Partner
Now, this one is pretty cool. My mom never let me drink until I was of age, but now that I’m 21 we drink together quite a bit. Whenever I come from school our fridge is always stocked with our favorite wine or beer. It’s kind of like being at college, except better.
4. Someone To Complain To
My mom is the best to bitch to. She is almost as sarcastic as me and definitely has a bigger attitude. This means she is going to understand what I’m going through and will come up with her own complaints on the spot.
5. Lots Of Tears
My mom is one of the only people I will let see me cry. So when I’m around her there are a lot of tears. We cry over movies, youtube clips, and even just stories on Facebook. We literally cry over anything. Some call it being overemotional, I call it bonding.
6. The Best Hugs
My favorite part of coming is the large hug that is waiting for me as soon as I walk through the front door. I will probably stand there in the kitchen for five minutes just standing there hugging.
7. A Best Friend
Honestly, the best part of being close to my mom is that she has become my best friend. She is literally my favorite person in the world. As soon as I leave home, I miss her. If I go more than a couple days without talking to her I go crazy. Hearing from her can instantly make a bad day good again. Even writing this, I’m thinking of texting her and reminding her of how amazing she is.
When your mom and you are close, you are automatically part of a special club. Whenever I meet another girl who is close to her mom we hit it off instantly. It’s like a having a little secret that nobody else knows.
