It's funny how some of you guys assume that I am either the mother or the daughter. This is not about me or my mom. Me and my mom's relationship are awesome. I'm asking this about Anna Nicole Smith, she said her mom was jealous of her. Stop assuming people!

Nope. My mom is of me. She would always make fun of me as a child in public. I would never talk if she was around bec she would really put me down then. Still to this day when I'm at a social event, I think of how she would act,shivers.
She would even make fun of my body shape. She would tell I would be a fat adult and I was shape like my aunt. I'm actually skinner than my mom at this age. I'm not fat. I'm like ruler shaped.
Being a parent myself.I do what ever I can to support her as a person and her social skills. I'm proud of my daugher
*Oh now you had A. smith's mom.It's all about the money

Jealousy is an emotion not a right. Emotions are just signs of something else. If your mom appears to be jealous, it could be your perception. It could also be that she has some unresolved issues that have nothing to do with you. Either way, most people don't try to be jealous. It's a result of other circumstances.
It doesn't matter whether it's you and your mom or Anna Nicole and her mom. The relationship is still mother daughter and I believe it has to do with emotions and perceptions, not rights and privileges.

No. As another answerer said, a mother should be proud and happy for her daughter, not jealous. Feelings of jealousy from a mother for her daughter are immature and detrimental to their relationship. Their is a difference between envy and outright jealousy however. My mom has said before that she is "jealous" that I can sing, and that she had always wished that she could. That is really envy, and is a bit more understandable. People that are envious usually aren't bitter and it typically doesn't hurt their relations with the other person. Jealousy carries a more negative connotation and can really put a wedge in a relationship.

that happens
but hey maybe if she is jealous ...that could be because
her daughter has something special that she never had at her daughter's age
but she should try to replace jealousy by pride
and try to feel proud about her and show her that she does
plus encouregment may be helpful (telling her that she can do more than she's doing )
that may be a feeling that comes only for a short time.
it would go by spending more time with her daughter
and knowing her more
plus-getting closer to her

why would a mother be jealous. simply because the daughter is younger, may be i can go with that, but if it is because of her looks or the daughters relationship with other family members then maybe the mother should consider speaking with a therapist to help alleviate these feelings.

you cant choose how you feel about someone. I know I'm just young, but I've had my share of jealousy issues, and let me tell you, i definitely would rather have felt happy for the person, then jealous, but sometimes that's the way things go. Try concentrating on different emotions, and try to be supportive and happy for her, instead of jealous..as hard as that may be. Good Luck

As a mother, I say NEVER. A mom should love and support her daughter, but some mothers are like that, jealous and selfish to their kids and if you have a mother that is jealous, it's very hurtful and it's wrong.

Sure, everyone has the right to be jealous of whomever they would like to feel jealous of. What MATTERS is how that jealousy is handled. A mother shouldn't make her child feel bad for succeeding just because she did or could not.

There shouldn't be any reason for a mother to be jealous... if her daughter s doing something that the mother always wanted to do, then the mother should he HAPPY that her daughter got to do it.

Everybody has a right to their own emotions - even if they're not good ones. Unfortunately that is something that a lot of mothers go through. Especially when they're not feeling great about themselves or their lives. Remember they're just human too.
