Mom & Daughter

 Mothers truly love their daughters. And daughters truly love their mothers.History and the research provided from years of therapy couches have proven that in many cases, mothers are much more critical of their daughters than their sons, at least openly and visibly and certainly audibly. This is most obvious in households with only two children; one boy and one girl. Of course, mothers can be critical of anyone, it is part of their job.Then, Why is the mother daughter relationship so incredibly and unreasonably strained? May be because,the relationship between the mother and husband and the father and daughter, which of course is the same person. Some people feel the battle for his attention between the two female counterparts causes tension early on. There is scientific evidence that explains that the child of the opposite gender tends to bond more closely with the parent of the opposite gender. Hence the terms “Mama’s boy” and “Daddy’s little girl.”

The greatest gift that either woman can give to the mother daughter relationship is honesty. Self honesty, and honest self evaluation, can go a long way in the healing process. If you are a daughter who intentionally tells those little white lies about your life to make your mother’s blood boil under her skin (of course you wouldn’t do something like that) then evaluate it, admit at least to yourself, and change it. If you’re a mother who constantly nags at her daughter to find the right man—or woman—(of course this isn’t you) then try admitting it at least to yourself, change it, and celebrate her accomplishments the next time you speak with her. These are the most basic, most elemental steps toward opening the door to a much better relationship with the most important persons in your lives.
