Mom or best friend ?

No! I have never been a mother, sorry only a dad. Yet, I have seen the following in many situations. And I have never felt it was a good pattern to follow.

"Clinical psychologist Stephan Poulter, who works with family relationships, has come up with five categories that he finds fit most mothers. He finds the group that is on the rise is mothers who want to be best friends with their children.
But he said going partying with your children, wearing the same clothes as them, trying to keep up with their youth with breast implants and surgery, erodes all boundaries -- and leaves the children without a mother who can guide them.


Here is the link to the complete article by Mr. Poulter.
