    12. But also like your best friend, she doesn't put up with your shit.

    13. It's way easier talking to her about dating without a dad to intervene.

    14. And she gets it because she's dating people, too.

    15. Maybe you can even go out dancing together!

    16. Shopping trips with each other are mandatory.

    17. So you understand that your mom likes the same things you do.
