Clicky Poll: How close are you to your mother?

Conversation w/ DH got me curious... he thinks my being very close with my mom at 28 is 'unhealthy' or at least, keeps me from being an individual (which is kind of weird, I do what I want, make my own decisions - regardless of what she thinks...but I digress...)

Re: Clicky Poll: How close are you to your mother?
This exactly! I feel blessed!?
Good to hear I'm not alone in that, punk.
My mom lives about 15-20 minutes away, and I talk to her at least daily, and visit her w/ DD at the office or her house at least twice or three times a week (for lunch or whatever).
DH is talking about moving away, my mom has travel anxiety attack issues so I have a feeling if we did we just wouldn't be able to see eachother very much, and it makes me extremely sad to think about leaving where we live (I LOVE it here, literally, LOVE it - paradise!) and being so close to my mother.
Blah
ya know, i was talking to dh about my mom's mom the other night (they were best friends as well) and was so upset thinking how sad my mom must have been when my gma died - and then started crying thinking that it will be the worst thing in the world to ever lose my mom
sigh.
im crying now, p.s.
we live that far away from my parents too. and dh called me one day to say "hey, would you move to hawaii for my job?" i said "only if my parents can come!!" LOL
yeah. when my gma died, my mom didn't know who to call all day during those times that they normally talked... i can only imagine how heartbreaking it was. and i can't even think about that happening to me at some point in my life also
Wow. "how closer are you to your mom".
I said pretty much best buds even though we don't spend much time together. She live 3 hours away, so its not like the opportunity is there for us to go shopping every weekend, etc. We do talk daily though, sometimes multiple times a day, and make trips to see one another at least once a month.
I don't think there is anything unhealthy about a close relationship with your mother, unless we're talking like Trey McDougal close when she sits and talks to you while you're bathing...and even then its really more weird if its a son than a daughter.
I take it your DH isn't very close with his family?
I am super close to both my parents. er, was super close to both of them. My mom is the best. So was my dad.
It is awful losing a parent. I always thought I had more time and am angry he didn't get to see Jo grow up. ?
We spend a decent amount of time together (because she's graciously letting us live with her while we find jobs) and we get along decently. She's a great woman but he worrying gets to me so much. She's always bringing up something new for us to worry about and I have enough on my own. I've talked to her about it but she continues to do it, because it's really in her nature to do so. I spend as much time as I can without getting stressed out and in the interest of or relationship, I then get my alone time.?
My mom was my very best friend EVER. My DH used to tease me about it. Unfortunately she passed away in Sept 06.
my third child is due around the date of her death. I'm hoping he/she comes that day to shed a little bit of good on that day.
We also live far away from each other. When I lived by her, I didn't appreciate her enough. I would be at her house often
There is no response that applies. My mother is deceased. I miss her lots, especially since DD arrived. No matter what you think of mom, embrace whatever you have because you never know when they might be taken from you. It's a heartbreaker to never see DC with their Grandma.
Flame away...I don't care.
My mom ran off with her co-worker 2 years ago. We never saw her again (ETA: her choice, she never called or answered her phone). My aunt and grandma keep telling me she wants to see us, but I will probably never speak to her for the rest of my life.
