I usually wear really ';punky'; looking clothes, and she doesn't like it.
When we go out, people think we are sisters, and she gets upset and says I should dress more like a ';mom';.
How do I deal with this?
It's not like I force HER to dress a certain way.I am 23 and my 10 year old daughter is always making fun of my dress style.?
you had your daughter at 13?!!
then you're right. you're practically sisters.
but given that you're the more mature 'sister' in this situation, i would suggest you dress a little more on the 20s range --which means tone down on the punk. now i didn't say change your fashion sense completely. just tone it down a bit or upgrade it a bit.
i mean look at it from the perspective of your daughter. imagine going to a PTA and you get confused to be a student rather than a mother. your daughter is looking for a mother figure, and when you dress like you're not --well, a child tends to be more visual more than anything. you have to have the look that commands respect from her peers, too, you know.
yes, being the adult, you're the one who has to make some sacrifices to make your child feel more comfortable. it's not so hard, really.I am 23 and my 10 year old daughter is always making fun of my dress style.?
you were around 12-13 when you had her? Also, you asked a question where you had and 18 and 19 and 12 year old.... so are you not 23? or are you just making up random questions?
You had a baby when you where 13...........wow wow wow!!!!!
well tell her that u are still young and just because you made a mistake and got pregnant but decided to keep the baby so you could groww to love her doesnt mean you have to give up your youth
You are still a parent even though you had her so young. tell her when she is older then she can determine what is approopriate and what is not regarding clothing. In the meantime perhaps you can tone it down a little. She must be seeing something to make her comment at 10yrs old. Also ask her if her friends may be saying something to her about you. She may feel a little embarassed. At this age (Tweens) they are easily embarassed and that could be the source of her comments too.
Good Luck!
you both need disipline
I think your daughter is being disrespectfful
and should be grounded for it.
you tell her to stop it and thats its inapropriate. you may be young but you are the still the mother you have to set groundrules
It's understandable that she wants you to look like the other mums.
Maybe you should 'tone it down' a bit when you pick her up for school, and only wear your favourite clothes when going out with your friends etc.
You had her very young and of course you want to dress like your age, but you are a mother and you have to act like one too.
