Do all mothers and daughters have strained relationships?
Post Body

I just delivered my new baby daughter 3 weeks ago.

My mom and dad are in town right now to help out. My mom just snapped at me/started drama/and will proceed to be mad and resentful at me for the rest of the day.

My dad (he had 3 sisters) insists that ā€œall mothers and daughters push each otherā€™s buttonsā€ and that ā€œmothers and daughters not getting along is as timeless as 2 year olds having tantrums - itā€™s just the way it worksā€.

Is that actually true?

More importantly, DO ANY OF YOU HAVE GOOD, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOUR OWN MOTHERS?

ā€¦

I canā€™t think of anything more demoralizing to tell a new mother of a daughter. Just working through this right now.

Comments

I do not have a good relationship with my mom. I try very hard to get along with her and be patient. However itā€™s difficult and one sided.

I go back and forth between accepting I just didnā€™t get the family card in life.
