What’s it like having a mum you want to hang out with?

I’m interested to hear from people that look forward to seeing, and enjoy spending time with their Mothers?

I have a tricky relationship with mine. I tell her stuff on a ‘need to know’ basis, never ask for advice, find her company challenging.

I have two little daughters, and worry about our relationship when they grow up. Most of my friends seem to find their mothers difficult. Is it just my generation (I’m 40)?

I would love for nothing more than to mutually enjoy my daughter’s company when they’re adults. Is this a pipe dream.. :(

When I was getting married I suggested mr and my mum did something together her reply was Why would I want to do that ? That was the nail in the coffin for me and it had been superficial polite conversation ever since (17 years) she hadn’t even noticed
