The mother-daughter relationship, a unique love story

Between complicity and rivalry, the mother-daughter relationship can be tinted with ambivalence:


  • Don't control her life; accept that your little girl is growing up and needs to become independent.
  • Avoid giving her advice based on your own experience.
  • The values you teach her must take into account her personality.
  • Share with her moments of complicity and listen to her emotions.
  • Letting go is not easy, but it is the key to a harmonious mother-daughter relationship.

I need a serious oppinion, I’ve been with my boyfriend for fifteen years we have a twelve year old daughter, I am having our second daughter in November. He has three step sisters and a mother who never liked me from the start but they’ve learned to live with me and know I am not going anywhere. So I asked my bf to ask if they could help me with the shower and by help I mean help set up and maybe go pick the balloons or cake up, I don’t mean I want them to throw anything. I want to be involved this time around last time no one got along and my mom was nervous and all that my mom passed away so I want to be involved, like I want to pick the place and what not and invite my friends . So I started a group message with all of us and said hey guys wondering if u want to get together soon and start planning baby shower. I told them I picked a few venues and waiting to hear back. The mother never responded and the older sister whose always been an asshole to me says Amanda there is plenty of time to call places cus prices always change and usually when someone wants other people to plan something the person isn’t involved. But by all means if u have the money for a venue now go ahead but don’t expect us to help u if your going to pay for it. Like I’m sorry but to me that was so rude. I don’t want them to pay for anything I just wanted help with setting up and putting balloons and decorations up. The mom never responds. The younger sister said what my sister is trying to say is that we will do it for u u sit back and relax. The mom told my bf that they didn’t want one of my best friends to come cus they don’t like her this is my best friend. This is for me and my daughter not them. Then I tell my bf what they said and he’s like Amanda they wanted to surprise u, I told him I appreciate that but I want to invite who I want not who they want and I want to have it where I want to have it. When I had my first it wasn’t enjoyable I want this one to be enjoyable. He’s like why can’t u guys just get along. But it’s not me like I’m not expecting them to throw me anything I want to be involved that’s what I want. If they throw me something none of my friends will be there just who they want and it’s not their party. Am I wrong to feel like this? These people never liked me for whatever reason and it causes fights between me and my bf a lot. Sometimes I feel it will be the end of us cus of them.

If what's he's say is true and want it to be a surprise, I can understand why they didn't respond and not saying anything. You probably mess up their plans. On the other hand that was a rude comment made by his sister and it was probably made due to frustration. In my honest opinion if they are paying for it let them. Have yourself another baby shower where you can invite your friends and who ever you want to. With my first I had 3 baby shower. All of them were surprises. One throw by my mil, my job and my husband friends throw me one. This is a toxic environment and situation you're in. Have you all ever sit down and try to talk? See what the problem is... this will not be healthy for you, your kids and your relationship.

Like they want to do it, I get it but then none of my people that I’m close with will be invited it will be just who they want and basically a party for them. I wasn’t into it with my first daughter cus no one got along then, I want to be involved this time around. I just wanted help with decorating I’m not expecting anyone to pay for anything. They literally told my bf that my best friends can’t go my best friend! It’s like they want a party for themselves and want to look like they r nice when they really aren’t and never have liked me. Like I want to invite my friends my family passed away so my friends are like family and just. Cus the mom doesn’t like one I can’t invite her it’s not the moms party it’s my new babies. The fact my bf doesn’t ever stick up for me to them really gets to me. I’ve been asking him to ask them if they wanna help me not if they want to do it for me they just want it to be for them they don’t care what I want and to me that’s not right. My bf said I always have to be the middle man cus u and my mom can’t get along mind u I am nothing but respectful and I know he didn’t come up with that the woman doesn’t like me because I am strong willed and I don’t let people fuck with me and she’s not here to that and neither is the step sister. I don’t need them to pay for anything I just wanted a little help setting up and ideas. I don’t want to have it it someone’s back yard with Al hog ok so they can all get smashed and invite who they want it’s not for them! I’m so upset over it. I’m just gonna not mention it again and plan my own with my friends .

the irresponsibility of a parent. this lady had the AUDACITY to bring her child who she knew had the flu to a family dinner, knowing daen well my month old babygirl was going to be there with me. my mother had caught the flu, and now my daughter has tempatures between 99.4 and 100.5. not sure if it's the thermometer, but she keeps throwing up, her tummy is bugging her, and she is not getting as much sleep as she needs. I am beyond furious. the negligence of this lady. yes I brought a newborn to a family dinner, no there were not many people there, yes she brought her sick son, no she did not tell anybody. I have a bone to pick with her, and it's not going to be a pretty sight when I see her next.

Random vent/dilemma: Anyone not have an actual nursery for baby on the way? … I currently live with hubby, his mother and his daughter in a 3 bedroom. So we’re trying to figure how to literally “squeeze” my baby into our room. It’s not impossible but I’ve always envisioned my child with their own nursery/room. I know baby’s don’t need much in the beginning but can’t help but feeling gipped lol or am I being a spoiled brat?! Hubby is in an awkward place trying to accommodate and please 3 women in his life and I don’t want to add unneeded stress but still… I say mom and step daughter share a room while baby gets her nursery?! What you you guys think?! Lol ???

I am not feeling my best because my husband and I live with his brother. We have upstairs and his brother has the basement. He brother said his daughter is going to live with him for the summer and now his mother is there in the house for the summer. I don't like this all I want is peace and quite with my baby. We gotta hurry up and save money so we can get our own place.

My sisters step daughter is 2, and well unfortunately they never brushed her teeth (and her biological mother gives her Soda) so she ended up getting a huge amount of cavities. Her mother decided with the dentist that she should have some caps put in her mouth (she now looks like she has dentures) but anyway since she had to get so much done they put her under anesthesia and when they were done the pour girl came out with a swollen red mouth and a bloody nose. It’s been 2 days since and her top lip is bleeding with multiple cuts and it’s bruised. What did the dentist do to make this happen? Can I sue them for this?

I’m a dental assistant and I’m so sorry she had to go through that. They normally numb the area so it could also be from injecting the numbing. They also had to do some work on her teeth so it could be her gums bleeding from irritation. For her lip being cut, we use a high volume suction that sucks up all the water and sometimes it can cut people’s lip. I would ice the area and keep an eye on it. If things don’t appear to be getting better, definitely get a second opinion and then go from there for taking legal action.

You can also call that dental office and request records. It’ll show what was treatment planned and you can ask for their notes. Also, ask them to tell you how the procedure happened and why is she all cut up and bruised.

Over barring irresponsible mother in law problems. I came home with my daughter from the hospital and she was automatically asking to take her to sleep with her I said no my boyfriend/ baby daddy worked at the time well in the mornings when he would leave and me and baby were both sleeping she would take her and I would wake up in a huge panic she would allow her sisters to come and grab her even when I was breastfeeding she would allow them to come and snatch her away from me kissing in her talking so loud to wake her up everything I started locking my door she started telling me not to lock my door I still did finally I felt the need to get a voice and tell her not to kiss my baby it took her 9 months to finally stop now she’s bringing random people to the house and treating it like a party house I do not feel comfortable with my daughter staying here am I wrong for being ready to leave ?
