Teen daughter - how would you respond? “She’s striking.”

[Anonymous]

I think striking demotes “rare”
wither way I would have told my dd she is the most beautiful one.( and not , “to me”.)

I think Princess Charlotte of Monaco in her teen years was striking, so was Paulina Porizkova, the 80s model.

That’s all I would say

Kinda odd to say this to an almost-adult. 12? Sure

I’m in my 40s and wish my mom would say this to me. Seriously. I’m successful, happily married, husband tells me I’m gorgeous all the time, but Mom rarely did/does. I’m not damaged or anything, but I do wish my mom were more complimentary. I’d believe her if she said something like this and it would make my heart swell with happiness.

Awww... me too!

I feel like OP might be dancing close to “exotic.”

I’d respond “of course, honey. You’re beautiful outside and inside.”

Barf. You might as well say “you’re not pretty and I think you are dumb too”
