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