Gone are the days when daughters were embarrassed by their mums. Despite the generation gap, today one in four young women say they enjoy going out to bars and restaurants with their mothers – and even to nightclubs .

Georgie, 42, and 18-year-old Jazz Smedley live in Romford, Essex and work together in the family’s nail product business, Nail Harmony UK.

Jazz says: "There’s no-one I’d rather go out with than mum. She might be my parent but she’s my best friend. We have such a good time together."We have the same sense of humor, like the same shops, want to do the same things."We even go on holiday together, often to LA. My friends all love mum – they think she’s really young and cool. And she’s so lovely to them all. They never mind her being around, and she’s the life and soul.

Georgie says: "Jazz and I have always been close, but I must admit I’m really honored she loves spending so much time with me."We have the most fun. We go to clubs and to lovely bars. " "I’m a fairly young mum. I like to think I am trendy and keep up with fashion and music – so maybe that helps me in the ‘cool parent’ stakes.I think as your children grow older the age gap between you seems to shrink a bit. I certainly see Jazz as much as a friend as a daughter".
