Blog #16 Mothers and Daughters
In the selection Girl, the mother is really hard on her daughter to be more than she is. My mom always want me to do my best and be all that I can be, but my mom doesn't talk to me the way her mother did. The mother in the writing kept telling her daughter she would be a slut if she didn't do the things her mother said and i think that was just too demanding, it seemed like she wanted her daughter to be perfect. I know that parents want us to be amazing, but I feel that if a parent is too strict with their child they could end up rebillioning and become a really bad adult. A parent has to be both strict and understanding.

You are so right. Here's another fine line that mothers have to walk, and it's hard to know when it's the right thing to do. I found this story very hard to take, though. I believe in having high standards and expectations too, but I would NEVER speak to my daughter the way she did.
