Why is it that my daughter and I have a hard time relating to each other?

Answer 1

very normal.....

Answer 2

difficult to answer when you don't say how old she is. But if she is a teenager, the normal "developmental task" of the teenage years is for the teen to put some distance between self and parent as she creates her own identity...or they would, God help us, never leave!!! So things may be a little dicey between you, even if you really love each other, and you are a good parent, and she is a good kid. No matter what her age, people have their own unique personality traits and you might not be too comfortable with hers...either because they are very different from your own, or too much the same.

Answer 3

well i dont have a daughter but i use to give my perents a hard time in like middle school but once she gets older she will start to talk to u and be nice to you when a child is in middle school those are the years that they want to fit in i guess and they might think its cool to talk back to you or thet teacher i use to be like that but i am 15 know and i wish i could take but those mean things i said to my teachers and my persents I WAS VERY WRONG AND MEAn i am so glad i am not like that again i hope every thing goes well with your daughter

Answer 4

many reasons ...her self love, her thinking she knows more than you do,...its like this...you wake up one day and you realize that there are two women living in your house ...you and her...thing is, she may think that its you who knows too little and her, who knows it all...sometime the two may be so much alike that its hard to see the diffrence between she being stubborn or her being like you were at that agew...no, that was not a slam...its true...they say that a daughter is somneone who grows up to be one of your best friends...it the growing part that cause so many problems...t5hey seldom realize or even believe that we as moms were once their age with similar problems. issues, etc... thay hate the fact that we know all the tricks they may try to pull...hate that we even seei ti before they do...but remember that is the age of self discovery; they are trying to find themselves and we as moms try to buffer the blows that they will have...what you need to know is that its their time and we can only be there to help as we can...i do not belive in trying to be their best friend at the teen years; lets face it, they have too many of them which is another problem...what they need are their parents, being their parents; setting goals, restrictions if needed and showing them the kindnessthat they act like they do not want yet in the quiet moments...need to have so much without judgement on all the silly things they will do but letting them know that like it, love it or not we are still there for them and will always be...its not about giving them all they claim they want but moreso, giving the basics that they need so much

Answer 5

If she's a teenager, she's still very self-centered. Try talking about her. Her interests, her life, etc. Try not to give advice unless she asks for it. Kids either rebell or move away when they feel their parents are over-bearing. Just be happy she's choosing the former. I chose the latter, and my Mom is still grieving.

Answer 6

its probally because you and your daughter are so much alike alot of the time you cant get along with someone who is so much like you but you dont realize it.

Answer 7

maybe thats because your daughter and u have nothing incomin and give her sometime shes probubly young she probubly thinks that parents cant help with nothing and that they are uncool shell get used to talking to u

Answer 8

I never got along with my mother.... do you always criticize her? Are you always negitive? Does she feel like she can tell you anything. Most of all does she really know you love her?

Answer 9

Lots of reasons.

Answer 10
