Hey guys i posted a comment on a video and well, After this comment even though it was a question on the video, I got very abusive messages and the YouTuber had to stop comments and send me a message and she was upset about it too, And the thing that started this was i said how me and my mum got a long.
All i said was, I take care of my baby bro for her when she is stressed and take him out when i think she needs a break, I help round the house for her, I buy her expensive gifts, I let her go on nights out and holidays without us kids where as my siblings do not, We never fight, I help with the shopping as she says i never ask for things and i am one of the bests at it, We cuddle a lot, When she is sad i get mad at the person who made her sad and just comfort her and make her feel better, And when we are downstairs at night watching TV she rests her head on me and falls asleep and when she is ill or cold we snuggle up under a blanket and hold each other just to give her warmth and i like to let her know i am there and make her feel better.
To me and the person wh posted the video, This sount like the perfect mother to son relationship, Not anything bad, So what kind of relationship do you have with your mum? I am jsut wondering as this seems like a good one to me where as to others this is 'Incest'.

Dude, how is that incest in any way, shape or form? I have a really good relationship with my mom, and I think it's important to have a good relationship with not just your mom, but your whole family. Don't listen to what other people say, just do what you want to do, and I think that what you're doing is amazing!

Pretty shitty relationship actually. Not at all close and because of being divorced and her being a single parent she blames a lot on me, always picking on me and not my sister. In the past 3 years or so I don't think we've had a day without shouting or getting on each others nerves. Usually it ends up in swearing matches with her not having a leg to stand on but still she wins. She just makes me so angry. So yeah, not a very good relationship there.
You and your mum sound amazing though Kieran. Don't let anyone tell you that's wrong because that's such a great relationship to have. Im really happy that you have her.

I think you two have a very nice and close relationship, me and my mom are close but we rarely fight and I'm actually close to most of my family, and I wouldn't want it any other way <3

Mine isn't very very close, but I still do get along with her. Sometimes though she irritates me and vice versa...

My relationship with my mother is strained...formal, at best. She thinks we communicate better than most, but most of that is me bullshitting her because she has no business in my psyche. We're not close, but we can still be humorous with each other usually. She doesn't appreciate my sarcasm or my tell-it-like-it-is attitude, so that creates stress around the household.

I envy you kieran. In my case, there's practically no relationship at all. She always says the wrong things at the wrong time and she frequently calls me names and holds me back. I try to avoid talking to her as much as possible.

On the other hand, my dad is totally awesome and it was always he who took care of my brother and I, and read us stories and changed our diapers lol when we were younger.

My relationship with my mother is purely a cycle of hating her and feeling guilty for hating her.

Is there a name for a relationship between the two opposing teams on a debate team? Because I sort of respect my mum for never backing down, even when we both know I had the better argument. She always seems to win though. :/

We get along fine. I help her with the dishes at dinner, which I know she appreciates. And I try to keep my room tidy. She doesn't know I am gay though, so I hope things stay the same if and when she finds out.

I honestly think that my relationship with my mom is pretty good, but rocky at bits.... She does have a lot of shame over me, which makes it hard to have a "Very good" relationship with her.

We used to be really close, and whilst she's a good mother, better than many. We aren't close anymore. Personal issues have just pushed us apart.

Kieran your relationship with your mum is good I regret losing mine :)

We've had a lot of issues with each other in the past but we're really quite close now. I've nearly lost my mother on several occasions so it does make me appreciate having her around a lot more even though we do have our spats every now and then. I'm not a biological child of my mothers unlike my siblings, but shes always been there to give me everything she can and has treated me like her own since the day i arrived. Recently I don't know what i'd have done without my mum (and dad) since my health has declined. Shes been through hell and back just to make sure im okay and shes even going out of her way tomorrow to make sure im able to attend a university trip despite being really unwell which she'll stay throughout the day with me. I would've been unable to go if she hadn't stepped it, shes taking a lot of time out of her day just to make sure i get the same chances as everyone else even though shes also currently unwell herself. As many disagreements and issues we've had in the past due to her ex alcohol issues i love my mother dearly, shes honestly one of the strongest women i know.

Louise that is so sad to hear and i do not know what to say to it, It just made me want to cry reading it, I hope you get back together soon though, It must be hard for you.
Aaron what you said did make me cry, Just your health and hers, It is reallt scaring me, I hope you get better soon but that is so nice what you think of her and how close you both are! I hope you stay that way :)

Sometimes I wish mine believed in being a parent, lol. I definitely needed a stronger foundation from my parents. But it's hard to blame her, I was an accident and she wasn't ready. During the times that my mum wasn't a single parent, my dad didn't help that much. He got firmer as I got older, but I don't think he wanted to push me the wrong way while being so new in my life. He probably wanted to be the cool step-dad so he was even more lenient than my mum was for most of my adolescence.

Other times, I'm perfectly happy with having had a parent who is maternal, but more of my big sister or best friend than anything. I guess more-so now than when I was living with her.

We were always pushing each other's buttons though. It doesn't mix well, to put two menstruating bipolar women under the same roof. As much as we loved each other, we were always, always arguing. Until I left that is. Now, whenever I see her, it's the pure older sister relationship.

my relationship with my mom is fantastic...do we have arguments? Sure but not only is she a great parent she's one of my best friends. She was the first one I told I was bi and she supported me greatly. She's responsible for the person I am today and I love her so much for it.

What? Since when is having a positive relationship with your mother incest?

Personally, I have a great relationship with my mom. Today is her birthday. I wrote her a song and I bought her a charm for her Pandora bracelet. She loved it. :)

I love my Mum, but our relationship is sort of backward. I'm the adult.

wow!! u have a pretty good relationship with ur mother!! keep it up!!
My mother sometimes is a mother and other times she's like a friend to me!! I sometimes find it weird how I can't keep secrets from her..even though I know how she'd react! I'm the only one of my siblings who she talk to about her friends and her relationship with them..well bcz I'm the only who seems to care and bcz I'm the eldest daughter!! so our relationship is pretty good!! :)
