"They have identified several factors that could be contributing to an intensified mother-daughter symbiosis: technology that makes it easy to stay connected; the smaller number of children in each household; young adults who are prolonging decisions about career, marriage and children; parents who want to have a less-hierarchical relationship with their offspring; and parents who feel the need to keep their grown children close at a time when anxiety and depression levels among young adults are at some of their highest points ever."(Rosenbloom).

However, "It's important to acknowledge the generation gap"(Saltz).

In other words, both daughters and their mothers need to act their age and respect the age difference between them.

Whether the mother-daughter relationship is best friends, sisters, or clashing personalities, the changing dynamic is what keeps each relationship unique.
