What if my parents weren't my parents, we were the same age, and we crossed paths?  Would we be friends?  How might that friendship look?  As we all age, I've been thinking and rethinking about my individual relationships with each of my parents.  I definitely think it's important for the parent-child dynamic to evolve over time.  Understandably, it's easier for the parent(s)/guardian(s) to only see their child as their "child" selves, even after the child has become an adult.  Yet, I've seen how that can make things difficult for the adult child who wants to be treated as their adult selves in the eyes of their parent(s)/guardian(s).  

What are your thoughts?  Would you be friends with your parent(s) if y'all were the same age and not family?

Thanks for listening to another multi.D.mensional production.
