How to improve the mother-daughter relationship?

If you're having trouble communicating with your daughter, check out our tips for improving your relationship with her.

  • First of all, it's very common for moms to have a complicated relationship with their children, especially during their teenage years.
  • To ease the tension, you need to challenge yourself first.
  • Are you giving her enough space to express her own wishes?
  • Are you dreading the moment when she'll be able to stand on her own two feet?
  • Are you making your happiness dependent on her affection?
  • In any case, dialogue will allow you to share what you feel and to gradually find harmony.

Who else has a bad relationship with their mother? Mine is just so toxic and it seems like we can never have a conversation because she always wants to fight with me. I can’t talk to her because she’s so negative and the only time we do “get along” it feels so fake. I have never felt close to her or had any sort of bond with her. I always feel so much better when I don’t speak to her for months, my life is much more peaceful because she is a drama queen. I am so happy to be having a daughter of my own I just can’t wait to have that real mother daughter bond with her that I never got with my own. It just makes it that much more special and I really want to be the mother I wish I had. 🥹💗

Its her choices im sorry...just pray and if you're not pregnant maybe fast about it. My man assured me he loved God wanted a godly relationship and maybe that is true but he isn't as far along as I thought and made it seem to be and then said he would learn and grow with me but gets mad every time I try to bring it up and says im pushing it on him..now I don't bother I just focus on my relationship with God however I want our son to be close to God and learn about God and he says not to force our child well im not gunna ik its a choice however I want him to learn so he can make a well informed decision... I asked if we could pray over food and he was like this again? But he let me and he listens to christian music sometimes and every once in a while goes to church but showed mire enthusiasm at the beginning despite being super distant from God back then too but at least I saw his effort and I get his relationship with God is his own as he says as well but I want God first in our relationship as well I want God to be active in OUR relationship not just our personal relationship but our relationship together as well. Please pray for me this is hard and im losing courage to speak up

I'm kinda mad but not really I don't have the best relationship with my mother at all but she was able to help make sure her granddaughters eat I'm low on food and I'm still looking for a job I do receive food stamps at the time but won't have anything until next Wednesday I'm grateful my mother was able to help without down talking me for once I just want a normal relationship with my mother like everyone else but there are some things I feel my mother and I need to work on in order to make our relationship work 😫🤦🏾‍♀️I feel like a asshole bc I haven't talked to her since I put .y daughter father our for what he did to me she's upset I didn't get him arrested bc he raped me and I'm just happy honestly he's out of my house and out of my life 😫I feel better now that I got that off my chest I can go to bed and sleep peacefully I didn't tell many people bc I know what people will say I'm at peace knowing I don't have to walk on eggshells in my own home with my children

Okay so my daughter is over my mother house for two days , and I just drop her off I start crying because I haven't let my daughter spend a night over nobody house at all this is the first time I'm doing this and I just had almost 6 months ago 😭 like my daughter is so attached to me and my fiance , this is so hard , and I don't even know what to do it's like I'm bored without her , my mother in law was like some mother's would've loved a break . But lmao not me I would rather take care of my own daughter and cuddle her, 😂 I even packed so much things for my daughter and mom my was like omg is she staying for year lol lmao .

Completely normal! You sound like a wonderful loving mother! My daughter is 5, and I still struggle with overnights.. I feel like my entire being revolves around my kids. I totally understand. You'll be alright, if you want her back sooner go get her! Lol
