[quote=Anonymous]OP, my DD is very different from me. I used to say "why don't you dress like your cousins. I'll take you to hollister today." My DD would reply that she just wanted more band shirts from hot topics. I drilled on this issue for a year. I purchased the "in" clothes and they never got worn. I gave up, but I was obviously annoyed. Weeks later, DD confided in me how she felt less than. When I asked why she said she didn't know but that she knew I was annoyed with her because she wasn't like my nieces. Wake up call for me! I got her counseling to undo the apparent damage I had caused, I also learned to be more accepting. 1.5 years later and we have an incredible relationship. I have learned to love and accept every bit of her. She's herself. She's not me or anyone else. [/quote]
