[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a black woman I agree that we expect a tremendous amount from our daughters. My mother had no sons, but was never affectionate with me or my sisters. She loved us through her actions. Now she is affectionate. I have probably gone too far in the other direction with my own daughters. They must feel smothered by so much affection and attention; they need autonomy. [/quote]
While your experience is real, I am a black woman with a black mother and a black daughter and my mother was very affectionate.[/quote]

+1. I am not sure why that pp thought that being black is relevant to her contribution.

PP to whom you are responding. Are you black, because I am and sometimes those  distinctions are relevant to GENERAL cultural familial differences and how they manifest in the particular situation being discussed. We see it all the time in this forum in which people identify  their specific cultural background and how it plays a part in their family relationships.
So I was not telling her she was wrong about her I was just pointing out that not all of us have that same experience.
