[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems to be pretty typical of a lot of mothers. I wouldn't take it personally.[/quote]

Not take it personally? You’re on your way to be the same type of mother[/quote]

DP. I’ve already commented in this thread that my mom is like this, but I don’t really take it personally, nor think she’s a narcissist necessarily. I think aging does things to our moms that we don’t necessarily understand yet. I think mother-daughter relationships are incredibly complex and as I am now navigating a relationship with a teenage daughter of my own, I try to give my mom a little bit of grace. [/quote]

Interesting. Now that I have a daughter myself, I give my mom a lot less grace. Also seeing my MIL show more interest in me and my child (and she's not at all what I would call an overly warm/motherly person) has really colored my perspective on my mom in a different light. Particularly when my mom literally considers herself the best mother ever.[/quote]
