The millenials and z'ers are probably asking themselves what is a "newspaper" and a column.
It seems a bit contrived, and fake.
I’ve seen this and it’s disturbing. Traditionally, parents want their children to have a better life than they themselves have had. But at least some people these days (in my limited experience it’s 100% the mothers) feel great jealousy and are in constant competition with their daughters, constantly wishing to beat them and crush them and show that Mom is smarter and prettier and cooler than their child. It’s a staggering sort of mental illness.
I'll take an insane mother for $500, Alex.
This thread is useless unless the daughter is older than 18 and there are pictures.
For beginners, probably a healthy self-esteem and a normal state of mental health.
Smarter AND more intelligent?
On the other hand, men love it when their sons end up being more handsome and better with the girls then they were.
‘What does she have that I don’t?“
- A selfish, pathetic mother.
The letters are written by the columnist.
Sleep with her boyfriend. That will even the score. /S
Narcissistic mother better save up for a lonely old folk’s home.
I thought this sounded familiar, except the first time it started with, “Dear Penthouse,”
I just watched this episode on CSI.
The mother killed her.
Knowing when NOT to eat an apple?
Jane, don’t worry. Everyone hates bitter ugly bitches so she probably hates you too.
No, you should be satisfied with this and thank God with humility. Oops, I used the “G” word. There can’t be an answer there! /s Maybe, just maybe, if you adjust your value system and hence how you behave you will have peace of mind. Look up to God and value godly behaviors. Mostly certainly don’t look towards a precocious, immature child for an example. Be the adult and help your child. Your child certainly isn’t a finished product.
This is where being a person of faith is an advantage. You have to face your faults and ask God for help. You are accountable. And you already know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, just as your daughter is.
As the mother of a beautiful daughter I soon realized when she was a baby that she was the star and I was merely part of her entourage. Not at all insulted by this though. I was proud and humbled that God had given this gift to my husband and me.
You are blessed to have a daughter is so blessed.
Be thankful and encourage her.
Teach her discipline, self-respect, and self-control.
Ensuring she is grounded in faith in Christ is the best start.
Wow!
Shouldn’t she be HAPPY for this?
Her daughter is her creation, after all. 9 months in the womb. The pain of labor. The joy of motherhood, having a loving toddler than child, then blossoming into a fine young woman?
I have a daughter and a son I love to pieces. Everything they excel at is better than me, and boy am I proud!
This is why women don’t run the world- they are jealous of each other.
