This is an interesting subject IMO

For me parents have a particular role to play that is very different then the friends role. I personally don't believe in mixing the two roles, however that is just my opinion.

Even now when my daughter is almost 50 years old, she knows that I am her mother and she respects that role. But, there are times when we laugh and act up but I am still the parent.
