To think only in 2012 a person would atually think this is good parenting on their behalf

I am just godsmacked what is this treand of being your childs mate all about [

I know quite a few older teenagers who go out with their mums - not my cup of tea but I don't think it's necessarily being a bad parent.

I'm sure Liz Fraser has put her right.

MY dd would rather poke her eyes out than have me in the pub with her , I get on well with my teenagers but I am not their mate, although adult women go out with their mums , I just think it is a boundry issue when they are younger, MY dds friend was her daughters mate she let her drink was the 'cool mum ' It worked for them but it isnt for us ,

they were both on this morning yesterday I was at the mum seemed she wanted to be 17 again,

you have plenty of mates but only one mum. Different roles.
At a later age you can become more equals, but not as a teen.

I wouldn't want to go out drinking with dd and I am sure she wouldn't want to go out drinking with me. She goes out with her mates fgs.

I think it's a bit strange when mothers are all 'matey' with their daughters like this. I am very close to dd but it is emphatically a mother/daughter relationship.

I don't understand we are mates thing either I have seen this first hand with a relative god it does not work and her daughters just take the piss, sorry to be so crude about it but they do , the way they all bicker and argue the relative is as bad as her children ,

I agree - that type of relationship is strange and is more for the mother's needs IMO.

I think you can be a 'cool mum' without making a fool of yourself and your child like this. You have to trust your child to be able to go out on their own without you at some point!!!
I want to be like my Mum was with us when my kids are teenagers. She was pretty much unshockable, we could tell her absolutely anything (and did). She used to pick us all up from the pub and drive us all home, or she would let any (all) of our friends stay over (we lived in town) and always had a cup of tea and a listening ear for myself and my friends, but she didn't cross the line and try to be 'one of the gang'.

There is something very strange about a mother who really revels in people thinking that she is her daughter's sister.

I get it quite a lot with dd, as I am rather young to me the mother of a teen, and we look alike, but I hate it tbh. I don't want to look like her sister, I want to look like her mum.

maybe the 'cool' mum and the 'bff mum ' are different you are right kaluki it is about balance and cossing the line, both my dds are different infact I think dd2 brought dd1 out of her shell I get on great with my daughters but there has to be the balance,

geroff I must look like an old hag I NEVER get that although DD1 boyfriends mum did say i looked far to young to have a daughter her age

It only happens when I go out without make up MrsJ. Presumably I look like Bette Davis in Whatever Happend to baby Jane when I wear make up

I am sure you look lovely, DD1 look about 15 though so maybe it is that

I don't agree with this at all but I do agree with mums and daughters being friends as well as family. My mum is one of my best friends and I am hers. I want to be a friend as well as a parent to my future children Going out drinking with them is fair enough if they are 18 or older, I know mums who do that. Under age though? Not a good idea.

"46-year old Ruth Davies, who is often mistaken for 17-year-old Teri's sister"

yeah right... grandmother maybe....

ITs like those mums who wear the tight clothes their daughters wear and usual appear on living tv in programmes about being embaressing mums

Ratata i don't think its possible when they are teenagers.
My Mum is like my best friend now I am older. She is the first person I call with any news/problems etc and we often meet up for a drink or coffee.
But I wouldn't have wanted to go drinking with her when I was 17!

So mum takes daughter out to do something illegal. I hope a few local landlords have been watching and refuse to serve them next time.

The whole thing is just vile i really think its sad when you see mothers trying to compete with their teenage daughter and also when they try are dress like them

Trying to be mates and parents dosent work wholest their young they dont think yur cool just a pushover

Very very sad

i realise it's a typo, but i love the term godsmacked!...sounds like divine retribution!

Agree - its depressing and embarrassing. i wouldn't have been seen dead with my mother in any scenario at that age, never mind at a party or out on the
lash with her and she was very young (17 when she had me).
Saw a mum and daughter out in town the other day dressed in identical outfits - they looked very strange, especially because the outfit didn't work for either of them.

I an never work that out if the outfit is too old for the girl or too young for the mum when i see it, especially if it is say an under 10 saw a mum and daughter with skinny jeans and converse on and the same blazer I find it really strange and not cute at all

Idk, I was out drinking in the pubs when i was 16, (wouldn't have been seen dead with my mum though), and think id probably got up to a lot less mischief had she been there though. I guess the positive is that she has a close relationship with her mother.

And i guess i must be the odd one out, I love it when people think im too young to be dc's mother.

who are they trying to kid that she gets mistaken for her sister?

who by? drunk men wearing beer goggles????
