[quote=Anonymous]OP this dynamic sounds a bit like my older DS. First thing is this... you get what you get. You can try to parent around the margins, but acceptance is key here. You must become this child's cheerleader instead of adversary. Find the positives. Find the ways to connect. It's more work, but this is the whole "the kids that are hardest to love are the ones that need it the most" thing. What are 3 great things about your DD? What makes her unique or special? Your kid will always be who she is. The question is, will this be a kid who grows up knowing her mom was constantly disappointed in her? Or will she grow up feeling loved and supported?[/quote]
