It's important to communicate. Find some time to express yourselves, talk about things together. It's nice to also set aside time to spend quality time with your mother, perhaps do some activities. Also, when in an argument or disagreement, try to understand and accept her perspective with respect. Make sure to show her that you care and love her :)

Have you tried to do things you both enjoy? A great way to get along with someone you love is to enjoy time together and try to understand eachother better. Ask her to do something with you.

Buy little gifts and leave them there for you mother to discover, or ask her out to dinner, smile :)
you talk to her tell her how you feel if not tell her about your day ask her to go shopping together you may end up with some cute clothes and a fun day with your mother
I have always been very close with my mother. I try to let her know that I appreciate her by doing special things for and with her. Surprise flowers or candy, dinner out, shopping, anything really. We just appreciate our time together.
Mother and child relationships are always roller coasters and they will never be perfect. I personally have and am having issues with my mom, and for me its hard because she suffers from depression and ptsd. The first thing I would recommend doing is talk to a sibling about it if you have one. Especially if they're older, they have so much advice for this kind of stuff. Also, you can talk to your mom about it. I know it sounds crazy scary but it can always help. If it's too intimadating you can always talk to a counselor if you have one, a listener on here, or a teacher at school. Doing something you two enjoy could make the waves go down and it will put you both in a good mood. There are probably other answers but those have personally worked for me.
Tricky question... depends on family dynamics, I think. My mom was a bit of a Tiger mom and our relationship got better once we started being honest with each other and having conversations with the intent to understand rather than to fight. To get to that point, though, can be a lot of work on both of your parts. Sometimes it, quite frankly, just needs time and, at others, comes with environmental changes (i.e. my mom gaining a social circle helped a lot indirectly with our relationship).
Try to understand situations for her perspective. Give her the respect she deserves and treat her like your best friend.
Try talking to them. comunitcation is the key to everything. try to be honest with echother and make a habit out of talking and sharing.
To get along better you can discuss your problems with eachother to figure out what's bad in the relationship
Open communication. I find that communication goes a long way with all relationships. You want to make sure that you all don't step on toes.
Talk and go out with her to have a better relationship so will meet and create a nice friendship!
Have you always wished to get along better with her, or was there a time you felt happy with your relationship?

Do not raise ur voice at anytime. Raising your voice really pisses them off. Try to understand why u two are fighting
Spending more time with her. Talking, watching movies, do some shopping, taking her for a ride to wherever she'd like since she can't drive herself.
Mother daughter relationship is something very special and sacred but at the same time difficult to maintain.
Me and my mon have an age gap of approximately 30 years which sort of makes things difficult for us. Despite this we still try to get along well.
The first thing you should keep in mind is to have a healthy mother-daughter/son time. Choose some activities you both enjoy and that would help you spend some quality moments with each other.
Apart from this sharing your everyday routines encounters etc is a very good step towards a strong bond.
But keep one thing in mind. Even if you don't get along everytime you both are lucky to have each other and this relationship has its own unique charm.
In my experience getting on with your mother can be hard and you sometimes feel like you can't, but you need to tell her this, you need to tell her whats wrong more, or tell her you love her more let her know this, talk about things she likes
It's circumstantial for sure, every relationship is different. For me, I find actively listening to what she's saying and allowing her to be/feel apart of my life and my decisions helps her feel closer to me.
