[quote=Anonymous]I feel like the mom is looking for ways to be hurt and critical.  Just because she wants to send cards doesn't mean others value it.  As she says the daughter calls and otherwise they have contact and yet the mom is still looking for something to be hurt about.

I would say there is more than just an issue about cards.  I wonder if the mother says lots of critical or hurtful or judging comments and that's why the daughter stormed out.  Or is it more that it feels a bit controlling to have someone demand you act a certain way when what you are doing is perfectly reasonable and fine.

At the end of the day the daughter is trying to talk to her personally on her birthday and the mother is saying, that's not good enough.  There is no thought for the effort the daughter made, just a criticism and complaint of what she should have done.

I would say there is a bit of a disconnect or coldness between them and this isn't really about sending a card but the lack of connection between mother and daughter.[/quote]
