+276 Parents tell us not to be jerks to them and treat them like how we would treat our friends but then when we're all casual around them they get mad because we're "disrespecting them", amirite?

My parents said they're not my friends, they're my parents and I should respect them, but they're fine with me being casual around them, just not rude.

Well, my mother has spent a significant amount of time telling me that she is NOT my friend, but my mother, and that I should not talk/chat/yell/talk back/etc. to her like a friend.

People aren't friends with their parents? That must suck. I treat my mom like my friend, minus the cursing.

my parents WISH I would treat them like my friends... I make things SO awkward for them.

My parents don't tell me to treat them as my friend nor do they get mad if I'm 'casual' around them hmm.

My moms always tells me that I'm her best friend, I even curse in front of her but only if its not directed at her and she does the same, I've never disrespected her like that. But we both know when its the time for her to be my friend, and when is the time for her to act like a mother.
