Come on, what do girls like to do the most? You know, besides talk about boys. They like to go shopping. Therefore, you should go shopping together. This always builds up a bond as you learn what each other likes.

Have Dinner Together

You should schedule a dinner together. Even if it is just one time a month, you should have that special day together – just you and your daughter. Even when they are 5 years old, this is a good plan.

Talk about Relationships Together

I always think that having an open relationship is a good idea. You know you have a good relationship when you are able to talk about your daughter's relationships together. You could even share some stories of your relationships from the past, where you went wrong and what you should have done differently. Maybe, this way, she would learn from your mistakes before she actually makes them.

3

Have a Forgiving Attitude

You should always have a forgiving attitude. It is important to realize that no matter who you are, you are going to make mistakes. Think back to when you were your daughter's age, do you remember all of those mistakes you made? How would you have liked your mother to handle it back then? How do you think you should handle those mistakes now?

Famous Quotes

To give oneself earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.

I'm not really close with my mother, and this post really makes me wish I was. :(

My bestfriend was taken away from her mom two years ago . And I'm very close to my mom . I talk to my mom about any of my problems . She can't do that . I feel bad for her , all the time she's tellin' me how lucky I am to have a close relationship with my mom . Everytime she says that I tell her "You can do the same with God , he'll listen better too." But , I don't think she ever believe me . I would be nothing with out my mom . I couldn't imagine going through what she is .

Melanie, you are such a busy beaver with all of these posts, and thy all are very nice put together. I agree that mothers and daughters have a very special bond for life. Maybe the old saying "Son is a son until he takes a wife, and daughter is a daughter for the rest of your life" is very true. I am very close with my daughter, which was one of the main reasons my husband and I moved from our previous location,just to stay closer to our daughter and her family. Now my daughter is building a very close relationship with her daughter, and it is such a pleasure for me to observe that.

I always knew my mom is best she fits the list to the T.
