abetarrush

Well, do ya?

Get on great with my Dad

free2fly

My mum and I are very close and mostly always have been, except for a few of my wild teen years. My dad passed three years ago, but I was very close to him as well. Enjoy your parents while they are here

The other one isn't gone, just locked as theres no need for two threads, you have the poll here. Also care to give your own thoughts first?

Get on fine with both Mam and Dad, as mentioned enjoy them while they are here. A good few friends of mine always regretted not knowing their own folks or respecting them enough while they were around.

Kingp35

Both my parents are young, both 40 and i 22, so I have always got on with them because there isnt a huge age gap.

Endurance Man

No problems here, get on well but i am a bit sick of living with them.

Heyes

Obviously there are the irratating moments, but get on great with them other than that, and think the world of them both.

Might sound silly but sure hey its true

Reminds me of the scene in The Breakfast Club:

Bender: "Sporto, do you get along with your parents?"
Andrew: "Well, if I say yes I'm an idiot, right?"
Bender: "You're an idiot anyway. But if you say you get along with your parents, well then you're a liar too."

Ahhhhh, John Bender. Never will be see a ballsier character in a motion picture!

PS - yeah, get on with both my parents.

Wishbone Ash

Yes, but I haven't lived with them in the past 20 years.

Umiq88

Yeah get on really well for the most part do loads dont think the age gap matters dads 60 and im 18 and we still do loads of stuff together we have the same way of thinking and like all the same things so its grand and handy if a bit strange

the sad truth

phantom_lord

Yep I do.

fish-head

Ah yeah I get along well with both of them. Connect with them on different levels.

takola

I haven't talked to my dad in years and have no intention of doing so in the future.

My mam and I didn't get on well while I was a teenager but I like to think we would have gotten on well now that I'm older and not such an immature cow! Unfortunately she has degenerative mental illness so I can't find out. From what I remember of her before she got sick I think we'd have gotten on really well.

Tar.Aldarion

I don't really ever see them but yeah, grand. I argue a lot with them, but I love to argue and shout and stuff...

Faith

I get on with them just great when I'm not living with them. When I am living with them, we vary between getting on great and fighting horribly.

I'm far closer to my Mum than my Dad though.

Binomate

I supose I do, although they get on my tits most of the time.

Red Hand

We wouldn't be that close, but we get along whenever I'm at home.

Nightwish

As a teenager, I didnt speak to my father at all. I got on better with my parents when I moved to Dublin, and I didnt live at home. Now I'm back at home, they're wrecking my head again.

Sam Vimes

my dad is an idiot. my mother is a saint. she'd have to be to have not murdered him by now

mad m

An auld mammys boy myself,Get on great with my mam and step dad. Funerals,weddings I normally see my dad. Enough said.

Arohanui

Have to say my perspective on my relationship with my parents changed after I became a mum myself. I would imagine most new parents will admit to that! Having said that, I'm quite close to my mum but quite distant with my father but that is mainly due to issues that he has. I think getting older involves acknowledging your parents are only human with their own problems and not superhuman infallible as we would have liked to think. All you can do is your best...

CathyMoran

I adore both my mum and my dad, I just can not live with them as I have my own life now

Anti

Get on with my mother well, But we have our arguements.

Havent talked to the sperm doner for years. And hope not to for many years too.

Fajitas!

Get on great with both, probably closer to my dad. Same interests and whatnot.

The Hill Billy

I get on well with both of them - a little better with Nana Billy, but that's just coz Grandpa Billy is a bit quieter.

Becoming a parent myself certainly made me appreciate them both a whole lot more.

Parents FTW!

Black Swan

I get along with my one parent splendidly (most of the time...then there are those times when revolt is called for!).
