  1. My kids tell me everything, too, and I am extremely grateful for it. It’s hard to find that balance between being a friend and parent so that they feel comfortable.

  2. My hubby and I are working heard to keep that relationship with our kiddos. Open communication must start early!

  3. Great post. My niece and nephew tell me everything, and I hope it stays that way. I always make sure they know I’m there to listen no matter what.

  4. I try to make sure my kids know every single day that I’m there for them and that they can tell me anything. Strong lines of communication are so important as they head into the teenage years.

  5. My kids tell me everything now. They are young – in elementary school – I hope that I’ve nurtured them enough that they will always be that way.

  6. Sounds like you are a great mom! My son would tell me everything when he was little. Now that he is almost 18 he tells dad more stuff. I still get my hug so I am okay with that. As long as he is talking to one of us. He knows I am always here for him no matter what.

  7. I wish my son would tell me everything. He has always been hard to get information out of! Not because he doesn’t trust me- he just rarely speaks.

  8. That’s great that you have such an amazing relationship with each of your kids. I love that each of my girls is a unique individual.

  9. This is such a great post. I have this bond with my mom. I always trusted her and was honest and still do as an adult.

  10. What you said at the end of your post is very true. I felt pretty open to being able to tell my mom anything growing up, but I tell her even more now that I’m out on my own. Sounds like you have a great bond with your kids!

  11. It’s awesome to see families being so honest with each other. As my kids get older, I hope to have the same relationship

  12. Great post. The teen years are going to be interesting. Right now my kids are both under 5 and tell me everything!

  13. That is such a great thing to have your daughter recognize your bond like that! I am having a lot of issues with my teenager and her attitude lately. I wish she understood and appreciated how much I am there for her instead of just saying things like, I can’t talk to you, you’re MY MOM.

  14. I hope your kids will always feel that kind of closeness with you. As they head into their teen years, it’s so important!

  15. I couldn’t agree more! That is so important! Your children will always have a special relationship with you. It’s what all Mom’s strive for!

  16. I hope that my boys and I will always have an open and honest relationship. I’ll be worried once they are in their teens.

  17. I love how committed you are to your kids. It’s always clear in your posts, and how wonderful that you got to hear your daughter explaining how she feels about it/you. That’s awesome. 🙂

  18. There is nothing more important than feeling close to your parents and vice versa. It’s great that you are creating an environment that is open for them to communicate with you.

  19. So true! There is nothing like a mother’s love. I hope that as my children grow, I hope they continue to share their feelings and secrets with me.

  20. I try to be an open mom, I didn’t have that with my parents but did with some friend parents and always wanted to make sure I was open with my kids
