I had always thought I was an independent woman who never needed family's suggestions at everything until I came to the recent city, which is far away from my parents. and now, I find that I often rely on my family, especially, my mother.

When I have some success in my career or work, I always call my mom to tell her how I feel about the success, and I actually hope that she can share my success. But when I fail to do something, I actually wanna tell my mom as I did when I was a little girl, but I wouldn't, because I don't want my mother to share my failure.

Thank god! after I left my homecity to the recent city, I got more successes than failures. therefor, Mum can often share my happiness.

My best friend told me:"Rose, you always call your mom to tell her your happiness, that means that you still rely on her, emotionally rely on her. maybe that's not mature." I don't know if her conclusion is right or wrong. in fact, she seldom tells her mom about her feelings even when she is happy. But I am not gonna to change the truth, I mean, I still wanna share my happiness with my mother. of course, I still wouldn't tell her if I fail to do something. because she isn't as strong as me

I guess that most people have the same experience as I do. so my question is:

How much do you rely on your mother?

however, I generally tell everything of me to everybody

But there are some things I don't want to tell to my mother, for example if I have a deficit in my exams.

Because then she always gets worried about my education.

I think the bond between mother and child is the strongest there is in our lives.
We are grown inside her body for nine months.
Everything we need during this time,we get from her body.
When we are born, it is she who nurtures us, and for the most part, raises us.
Given all this, it is natural that we should be close to our mother and want to share our successes and failures with her.
I don't think it is a sign of immaturity to wish to do this. Rather, I think it is a sign of maturity, an appreciation of her role in making us what we have become.

I love my mummy much more than anything on the earth.She is my guardian angel,my friend,my laughter,my tear...
and i dont think it is immaturity do such things.
we must kiss,embrace or at least call our mother before it is too late to do these things.

here is a nice story about them;

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.The child asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth today, but how am I going to live there, being so small and helpless?"
God said, "My child, from all my many angels, I chose
a special one just for you. She will be waiting for
you and will take care of you."
The child said, "But God, here in heaven, I don't do
anything else but sing and smile, and it makes me
happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and smile for
you, and you will feel your angel's love, and that
will make you happy."
The child said, "And how will I understand when people
talk to me, if I don't know the language that men talk
on Earth?"
God replied, "Your angel will tell you the most
beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with
much patience and care, your angel will teach you how
to speak."
"And God," said the child, "What am I going to do when
I want to talk to you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together
and will teach you how to pray, and I will hear you."
The child said, "I've heard that on earth there are
bad people and many evil things. Who will protect me?"
"Your angel will defend you," said God, "Even if it
means risking her life. You are more precious than
anything to her."
The child said, "But I will always be sad, because I
will not see you anymore."
God smiled and said, "Your angel will teach you the
way for you to be good and come back to me, and
through her you will know that I am always watching
over you."
Then they heard voices calling from Earth, and the
child knew it was time to go. "God," the child asked
softly, "If I am about to leave now, could you please
tell me my angel's name, so I will know her?"
And God said, "Your angel's real name is of no
importance... You will call your angel: "Mummy"."

I try not to rely on my mother or my father, if I can avoid it. I have my own money and (sort of) my own house, so I want to be independent from my parents. But, last Tuesday, I did go to my mom's house and talk to her for a few hours about how I wanted to leave school and go back to my old job. I suppose doing such things every once in awhile can't hurt.

I was born in a poor family, To give us their three sons well education, my father and mother spent all their money and even borrowed much money from our relatives. I love my mom and dad, and I told myself I could not waste any moeny and would try my best to improve the life after graduation. and now I have a job, and I can earn my money to repay the debt that my family used for my education fee. No matte how hard I worked, I never told my family, and I just told them I was fine.
I am so proud of myself because I take the responsibility of feeding back to my family, my mom and dad.
My mom and dad seldom controled my freedom, I decided most things by myself, including the enrollment of entrance examination of university.
