Ashley and Serena in “Parents”

Mom, can you grow up and act your age for just once?

You cannot talk to me like that. I am your mother!

My mother? I thought I was your best friend. Which one is it? Mother or best friend?

Can't I be both?

No! Because I want a mother who tells me what to do. A mother who tells me to do my homework, to go to bed. I want a mother with her own life, her own friends. I don't want a mother who makes a fool of herself, flirting around with some guy who's half her age! I know it isn't all about me, but why does it have to be all about you?
