I didn’t get along very well with my mom growing up bc she was more stern and responsible one. I realize now she had to be like that to make up for the “fun” dad who didn’t do or make me do shit or nothing would ever be done and I’d be living in filth failed out of school. And now I realize why she was angry and stern (but still loving more than I liked to notice) bc she also had to look over my manchild of a dad who I loved bc he was the fun one
I just think that as a girl your relationship with your mom gets complicated. My mom is a great mom, at the ages of like 12-18 I had a horrible time getting along with her (why is it always like that?) and so because of that time my perspective on how I want to be as a mother has changed. I love her, and I want to have some of her qualities, but I want to be different as well.
