Improving The Mother Daughter Relationship And Building A Better Bond

by Inspiration4Living.com

If this is the case, it needs to be addressed before the family is divided in such a way that it will be difficult to repair the mother’s relationship with her daughter. Nowadays, the parents are often divorced, so the mother and daughter may both be single and dating, go to the same restaurants and bars, and even wear the same clothes. While this may appear to be a perfect mother daughter relationship, the mother has to realize that she is still the parent; she is not necessarily her daughter’s best friend.

On the other hand, the fact that the mother is aging may affect the mother daughter relationship to the point where she may not want to socialize with her daughter. She may feel old and tired, looking at more wrinkles on her face every day and a body that is sagging everywhere, while the daughter is in the full bloom of youth and vitality with her whole future ahead of her.

What the mother daughter relationship needs above all else is clear and positive communication between them. The mother has to realize that her daughter is a different person than she was at the same age; she is facing different kinds of problems and has the right to make her own mistakes and learn from them. Mom’s ‘advice’ often will often sound like criticism and very often doesn’t relate to the daughter’s plan for her life.

A daughter wants and needs approval from her mother. She wants her mother to be proud of her lifestyle and accomplishments and should respect her mother for her support and advice, even if it sometimes sounds like disapproval – and the mother should make a point of praising her daughter’s achievements, her dress sense and appearance, and her ambitions.

Both mom and girl should value their mother daughter relationship and make an attempt to recognize each other as individuals, respect each other’s values, and, above all, love each other.
