I would say it's possible for some, but not, however, with my own parents :P I'll leave it at that.
 
Its defintly possible. It just takes a lot of effort and work. For me my parents have not got back to the point where they can trust me. Thats where a lot of effort and work come in. Then you have to make sure you dont get mad at them for bossing you around. That could ruin your friendship. I have been friends with my parents quite a few times a day but we get in too many fights. I hope one day it wont be like that but as I said a lot of hard work and effort. And thats both for my parents and I.
 
Yes, it is possible. It takes a whole lot of understanding and effort on both parts, but it can happen. Do I have that sort of relationship with my parents? I'll have to say no, because (for one) they're oblivious to the fact that I'm an otaku (and the fact I spent $75 on a hotel room Friday night) XD
 
I don't think it's the parents responsibility to be a friend. They're supposed to look after their kids.
 
Yes. You would hope they would develop some kind of friendship with you... What are they supposed to be, robots?.. I don't think the filial bond should just be "do this, do that". Those kind of parents are just ehhhh.

I have good friendships with both of my parents. If I didn't, I would have lacked respect for either one of them.
 
I already see my parents as my friends.
I respect & trust them as much as any other friend of mine; no more, no less.
 
No, because true friendship means that both parties have to be equal. So it's pretty impossible. :/

My parents and I.. we are not exactly friends. I don't trust them.. I just do as I am told.
 
Family you are born with, friends you may choose.

It just depends if one's parents happen to be socially compatible with the child.
My mother and I simply tolerate each other, while I get along well with my father; although my thought process and general outlook on life are vastly different to either person.
 
I can't see my parents as my friends, it is really personal and I'll rather not get into it.
But it does depend on the personallity of the parents and child


:t354:TG
 
Sure. Whether or not I would like to be friends with my parents is a totally different matter, however.

Of course, being responsible for one's children always comes first, so my parents already do that properly. Friendship and parental responsibility are two different things - I find it surprising that many people insist on them both being tied with each other.
 
Me and my dad are like, the best friends evar 8D

He does like, everything with me, takes me places whenever i want, and stuff, because he actually knows what goes on in my head, and when to someone else what I'm saying might come out terribly rude, he knows I'm proably trying to say something else, :>
 
My parents are good friends so yeah.
 
I'm not really friends with my parents, but I believe that you can be friends with your parents. I don't really know anyone, but it's possible. Hell, some people posted here that they are friends with their parents, so why not?
 
My mom and I are basically best friends. we do everything together and basically like all of the same things.
 
I'm friends with my parents. Always have been. I get embarrassed by them sometimes, but I also get embarrassed by teenage friends too. :)
 
I wouldn't really say I'm "firends" with my mum, we're close I guess but, we don't do much friend stuff. I'd say I'm friends with Dad, we go for drinks together, talk about common interest, see films etc.
 
Yes, at least when the children grow up. I'm not hanging out with my parents a lot, but I do lunch with mum sometimes, since she works near my university.

My "friendship" with them has grown since I moved out, at least with mum. Though my friendship with my siblings has gotten worse. Hm.
