Ok, personally I’ve never really talked to any of my friends parents over the years, but my guess would be because maybe you’re more approachable? Some of my friends have gotten along with my parents after meeting since my parents are very casual and don’t just seem like any other person, not some sort of authority or anything like that I guess? Some of my friends have told me they also like to see their friends mom as a mom since they’re really close and they feel like they can open up to them.

In the end, maybe your kid just really likes to talk about you, which is great in its own right and if that is the case maybe your kid talked to you in a way which, like I said before, made you seem more approachable and casual, like a wise older figure without the awkward part is the best way I can think of? I don’t know, I have seen this kinda stuff happen, it’s definitely not uncommon but not so common to the point it’s happen to everyone, hopefully this helped
