My parents are the shiat! They are wonderful people...but regardless, they are my parents, hence we still get in each others nerves at times...but I would not change them for the world...I was lucky to be born into this family, end of story....
in my teens and early twenties it was difficult because of all the pressure i was under from my parents to "succeed" in life. i was more interested in partying, meeting girls and just generally living day by day.
once i got all that stuff out of my system and started to focus and mature, my relationship with my parents improved pretty consistently. at this point, i'm lucky to have them around, they are always there to help and provide solid advice.
next month is their 30 year wedding anniversary so us kids plan to buy them a trip somewhere!!! :)
I have a great relationship with my mother, maybe due to circumstances, 'cause I'm the youngest and that made her be more lenient with me, plus with everybody gone in the house, she sort of started confiding in me and treating me like an equal, so we developed a very, very good relationship. I can honestly say that I'm closest to her than with any female in my life-- can tell her anything, and she's the same with me. She's an awesome woman, too. The kind of person you look up to and admire and try to emulate. As for my father, didn't grow up with him so I don't feel one way or another towards him. Couldn't miss what I never had. I know he was gorgeous, though, a hottie.
MY mom its been good and rocky at the same time! I put her thru alot i was good and did a lot of **** i wish i could take back! Being a single mom was not easy on her and i got the draft of mom!!! when it was hard!
as for my dad im his princess i get what i want but as for telling him stuff no way my confidant is my mommy!!! but i love my daddy!!
Hummmm, I can't really say because it was too long ago but i remember that my mom and I am were getting along pretty well and had a lots of fun even if I was far from being an easy child, yup, me !
My dad was, hummmmm, away a lot ? Yes, that's the good term, not bc he wanted too bt bc of work so when we finally had to spent more time under the same roof it was not easy at first but he was a great guy. I feared him for many years, pinche macho LOL but We had a great relationship and so many laughs.
Then I had a new set of parents which include brother and sister so really I can't complain, I think I am pretty blessed !

Well considering that i stopped seeing my dad since i was 8, i remember really loving him.
And abscence doesn't make the heart grow fonder. I don't miss him now. Plus, with time, the paternal figure was re-filled. So the tittle of 'father' belongs to someone else.
My mom is the main mera, mera in my life. Yes, there are the occasions when parents become irritating, but hey, if they put up with me for this long why can't I.

mmm My relationship with my parents is very very rough, I left my parent's house when I was on my teens and as typical Latino Parent's they wish I was there living with them at 34 yrs BUT I left without their approval, consent and support. After that I didn't have any communication with them for almost 4 years, in fact they didn't know my whereabouts. I have great memories of my childhood I was very lucky as child but there's some point in your life where you have to spread your wings and I did it. I went thru really bumpy roads when I was in University. In the last 16 yrs I've visited them probably 4 times, I've mixed feelings toward them.
Sometimes I miss them and I need them and other times I just rather to be away from them.
Mine with my parents is not the bestest in the world. It wasn't the most desirable one as a kid and it sure as hell sucked when I was a teenager. But meh, I turned out ok anyways. Well, sometimes I think I'm a bit effed up but I guess we all are.
Nowadays, it's ok. Sometimes I feel I am more like the parent and they are the kids. I still love them both, way more than I did when I was younger. Live and learn.
ETA: I don't believe in any generalizations, myths, sayings, whathaveyous. I am no closer to my mom than I am to my dad. I see and love them both for who they are. That is not to say I don't take sides, I do but I take the side of the one that is right (in my eyes).

Girls get along with their father and boys get along with their mother?-- Edited by Motown Junkie at 16:42, 2007-04-04I'm a momma's boy, I get along great with her. Before my father passed away, I had a great relationship with him too.
But I still think that saying is true.
In her eyes, you can do no wrong.
IT'S SICKENING I TELL YA!!!!!!
But she loves me too!!!

I've had a great relationship with both. It actually got stronger over the last 3 years, which makes me feel sad that I have my parents living so distant now
My mom and I had a really bad relationship when I was a teenager... shoot even into my early twenties... mainly 'cause I made her go through a bunch of crap... but who doesn't do that to their parents? It builds character, no?
well, when my sister moved to Montreal, it was a blessing in disguise. I was able to reconnect with my mom on a different level. See her for the human being that she is and vice versa. It took us a while to get here but we're great now.
and... du iu spik spaniy(sh) chu? 
Roses are red violets are korny, when I think of you Ohh baby I get horny...
I know he was gorgeous, though, a hottie.

so really I can't complain, I think I am pretty blessed !
but I love her so I guess that's it.
