[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, there are a lot of things that you're better at, and she will see those when she looks at you, too.[/quote] Yes. And my hope is that the time will come when you can see those too. Not in a tit for tat kind of way, but just recognizing that everyone really does have their own sets of strengths and it doesn't make someone better than or more beloved than. Just because those are not your particular talents and that was not your ideal setting, it's doesn't mean you are any less of a person or a mom - just not as well suited to that particular (and from your perspective, seemingly idyllic) scenario, but I totally get how it could touch a sore nerve. Trying to measure up to her (or any other person that you are not) is only going to make you unhappy. Finding how *you* best thrive and how *you* best relate to your kids is going to be your best bet IMO. [/quote]
