N2 - The commonsense view that parents and their children are able to form close friendships is often challenged in the academic literature for both moral developmental and psycho-structural or socio-structural reasons. Drawing on Aristotle’s strict criteria for friendship, this chapter explores those reasons and finds them wanting. In sum, no good reasons emerge for challenging the commonsense view.
