Jesus. My mother tells me things I should not know. She doesn't understand the difference sometimes between a mother:child relationship and a child:mother relationship

I think it's hard for mothers to establish appropriate boundaries with their adult daughters sometimes. I think it's many moms' fantasies that their daughter is their best friend, but in reality, daughters need mothers far into adulthood. Hence, some boundaries really need to stay in place!
I totally agree. I know that's my mother's fantasy. I feel guilty being so different from her to be that close with her, but that difference really compounds with how strict my boundaries are. On top of that, I'm concerned that she doesn't always know what's appropriate behavior for herself, especially at her age. I'm usually not an agist person, but some things must be grown out of! Oy...my mother.
