Mums with one daughter

[Drivethrucoffeeplace]

Does anyone notice mums with just one daughter are a certain way? Hard to explain…strong bond with their Dd usually, v strong bond and usually quite strong women, independent and good looking?
It’s all I’ve ever seen…aside from…myself 😅I have one Dd only. But it’s definitely a thing I’ve noticed with others
It got me thinking about the differences between mums of boys, girls or with a girl and boy…is there anything noticeable about them? I find it quite interesting

I am an only daughter and I have an only daughter. Definitely not good looking but yes I’d say strong and confident and my DD is growing up the same way.

I very much resonate with the experience of @ReturnOfTheRainMac. Having my own daughter has made me less close with my mother as I realise I don’t want to parent the way she did. I am close with my daughter but not in a smothering way. She’s her own person and I’m happy about that.

This thread has made me reflect on the fact that I hardly know anyone who only has one daughter. For whatever reason the majority of my friends and family have 3 DC and all of them either have 2G1B or 3B.

We don't look anything like each other. We have very different ideas about most things. I love her to bits and would do anything for her, but we don't have the same closeness that she has with her DF.

I have 1 dd, one of my sisters has 1 dd and another has 1 ds

All the kids are strong, independent, thoughtful, kind and very close to us as their parents.

We are all strong, independent women as we were brought up by a very strong woman.

I wouldn't say we're all good looking, but we all take care of ourselves.

My DD is nearly 15 and we have a lovely relationship, very open and can talk about anything and everything, like to go to the theatre, same sense of humour etc.

She has a great relationship with DH (her dad) too. We couldn't be prouder of the young adult she is turning out to be.

We all have a great relationship with our mum too and are close.

We don't all live in each others pockets, but we do keep in contact daily on WhatsApp chats etc.

I think the evidence of this thread is that there isn't one set of rules of how mums with 1 daughter are. Everyone's different.

Both my sisters have one DD. One's neurotic and the other holds her daughter to a higher standard than her sons. Love them to death but beyond being pretty, neither fit your description.

I know a few mothers of 1 DS that fit the description, I thought it was more the impact of having only 1 dc eg less frazzled!

Honestly, no. I’m trying to think of all the mothers to an only daughter I know and they’re a very random mix… much like, other parents.

Happily most I know are pretty (or very) close to their daughters so far.

I have 2 DD's.... So surely by your logic I must be doubly good looking, doubly independant and have a doubly close relationship with mine?
Sounds like bollocks to me. IMO, when you've met one parent and child, you've met one parent and child.

Weird that you think they are all good looking.
