Pass the tissues…

Chloe Maxwell has always been close to her mum – but it wasn’t until she became a mother herself that she realised just how much her mum had put up with over the years.

The TV presenter and former model opens up to Mamamia about her mother, who worked three jobs to support her family. She also chats about the challenges of raising a son with autism and the importance of mothering kids with a bit of “tough love” now and then.

And keep the tissues handy – because there’s even a few tears involved.

How has your relationship with your mum changed?
