Jealous of my daughter. does anyone else feel this way?

You're probably a lot better looking than you think you are. You can work on your appearance, work out, eat better, and thank your lucky stars that your children turned out to be healthy and at a healthy weight.

That said, I know women that use pictures of their daughters as their Facebook pictures, which is weirder. My grandmother is jealous of my appearance as she had A cups when she was in her 20's and she gives me all sorts of hell about how skinny she was and how I am fat compared to her (I'm not even clinically overweight). I really don't know what to tell her when she gets on me for my figure. Don't put your daughter in that position. It's awkward.

Start hoping she looks as good as you after 3 pregnancies and 20 odd years. Also be glad that you did a good job as a mom raising a healthy and attractive child. Beyond that - step back and love your child and yourself to pieces. She's your off-spring. Not your competitor. And if you like what you see, remember the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Oh, but if she reminds you of things you don't like about yourself if, say, you have let yourself go a bit - and because 40's isn't exactly senior citizen time - then take some ownership that that is your problem to do or not do something about. Don't resent her its not her problem or fault.

I think you're fucked up.

Seriously.

Would u prefer her to be ugly?

Try just being a mum

That's horrible.You should feel happy for her!

Wow thats kinda selfish

Why be jealous, you've lived your life, had kids-time to accept your age.

It's way worse if you're someone who's felt their life has passed them by, their beauty went to waste and they never used it to their advantage.

Be proud of your daughter and give her every advantage you can, because you're just looking at a younger you.

Also can I have her number? lol just kidding.

To make you feel better,just know that blonde hair is the color of:
Bird crap
Beef tripe

i dont know what to say this is too weird start acting like a mom

I think that you have the right to feel jealous of her, but its something that you shouldnt really act upon towards her. As in getting snappy with her, cause after all, you did create her.. Lol and Im pretty sure she would feel confused about your reactions to the things she says because she probably has no idea of your envy towards her..

Not saying your a bad parent but just continue to love her for who she is, your daughter and try not to think of her as more beautiful then yourself, cause the more you brood on it, the more it will build up inside you and you will continue to be jealous.

Just be happy that you have a beautiful daughter who loves you and feels comfortable enough to confide in you about boys. Dont ruin this mother daughter connection you both share by being jealous.. :) lol so yeeeeer

Yes be jealous of your daughter who must be so much more fuckable. No it is not normal to be jealous of your daughter. That is your child and you should love her and take care of her.

You made your decisions and lived your life. Do not ruin your child since you are an envious bitch. You are a terrible parent and a horrible mother. You should be ashamed of yourself.

What are you mad she gets more guys her age and the guys her age don’t look at you? Envy is green and you look like a witch. FOR FUCK SAKE BE AN ADULT! SOMEONE NEEDS TO! YOU HAD HER NOW BE A MOM NOT A FUCKING STUPID CHILD!

You should work on your own self-esteem more so you don't compare yourself to your daughter. It's very likely she'll notice your behavior and be hurt by it.

It's normal for girls her age to complain about herself and her love life and it's a good thing that she communicates with you enough to tell you those things because many don't. Treat her like a mom and not a catty and insecure friend.

your very courageous to admit these feelings, even to yourself...most people look bad as they age mostly because they no longer take care of themselves...we also get smarter as we age and so know how to take care of ourselves...tell her your jealous of her..i am sure she will take it as a compliment and it could explain your little outbursts to her...in some ways people get more beatiful as they age if they take care of themselves

If I had a daughter that i was jealous of.. well, I would be more proud, than anything else... I think when you become a mom you have to give up some of the things you're talking about, but you can still be beautiful in other ways. Doesn't your daughter look up to you for advice..? she may be beautiful but sounds like she still needs you, you probably have some life experiences that she doesn't. I can understand you snap at her for the self-pity, she shouldn't think so much about herself and appearance... neither should you...
