UKMums.tv is reporting in the following article the Nickelodeon UK news that recent research by Nickelodeon UK has found that 94% of British kids name their mum as the person they're most closest to, with half of parents declaring their children as their very best friend. The closing generation gap is being thought of as one of the reasons most families feel closer to each other, with most parents sharing common interests with their children. Nearly half of the mums Nick surveyed like the same films (movies) as their kids, with two thirds sharing the same taste in music.
UKMums.tv is also reporting that according to a recent poll, Mummy Pig from the popular Nick Jr. TV show "Peppa Pig" is the number one Mother modern Mums admire and look up to for her friendship with her kids when they are trying to be a friend as well as a Mum to their own children:
Mums are now a girl's best friend
Just who is your BFF (Best Friend Forever)? According to new research it’s very likely to either by your own daughter or your dear mum herself!
Research by Nickelodeon found that 94% of British kids name their mum as the person they’re closest to, with half of parents declaring their children as their very best friend.
The closing generation gap (and the fact that us mums are much trendier – we hope!) is one of the reasons most families feel closer to each other, with most parents sharing common interests with their offspring. Nearly half of mums like the same films as their kids, with two thirds sharing the same taste in music.
Things seem to have moved on from when we were kids, with most parents feeling a closer friendship with their children rather than just a bond, compared to many parents not having much in common with their parents when growing up.
And who do modern mums like us look up to when trying to be a friend as well as a mum? According to a new poll Mummy Pig from TV show Peppa Pig is the number one mum others admire for her friendship with her kids.
This means that Mummy Pig beat off competition from yummy mummies like Holly Willoughby, Victoria Beckham and Myleene Klass to claim the top spot!
