[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the helpful comments. My daughter and I have a good relationship, and we’ve talked about my concerns. She doesn’t see herself as mean or superficial, but I can tell she’s reflecting on past behavior that may have come across as dismissive or lacking empathy rather than intentionally unkind. She’s said that some friends need more emotional engagement and validation than feels natural to her, though I still encourage her to consider others’ perspectives. I also recognize that I’ve contributed to the issue by rarely saying no and giving her too much materially. While we’re comfortable, we’re not wealthy, and I think I overcompensate because I grew up with very little as the child of a single mother. My husband doesn’t share my concerns. -OP [/quote]
