[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your child knows that you love her perfectly, and that is what matters most.  She is becoming the child she is supposed to be, thanks to you.  If you have other children the fact that some things are genetic will be easier to see.  I have 3 kids and one is naturally a perfectionist, another is more easy-going, and the last one is insanely extroverted.  I used to go out of my mind trying to get the oldest to focus on details more ("Did you leave the light in your room on AGAIN?") until it hit me that certain things do not register for her.  Your daughter does not have an average mother.  I hope you will not think of her as average or less.  She will surprise you, I promise. [/quote]
I have 4 siblings- each with completely different personality. My older sister is very strange and avoids people, she couldn't hold any job that requires dealing with conflicts/managers/bad customers etc. I'm somewhere in the middle. My younger sister is very extroverted, she is a great manager at work and can deal with conflicts etc. We had the same parents, and yet each of us, kids is so different.[/quote]
