Could people explain how it's the daughter?

Daughter?
Lets call Kate’s daughter Ella and your daughter Molly.
So Ella is Molly’s mother. Molly is your daughter.
Therefore you must be Ella, and Kate is your mother.

You're Kates daughter

Try it with the names of your own family. Change Kate for your Mum's name. It's easier that way.

My daughter's mother is me. Therefore I am Kate's daughter.

Think of it as a family tree.

Kate
Kate’s Daughter = You
Your Daughter

Surely, I am Kate

Kate is the mother of my daughter

No, Kate’s daughter is the mother of my daughter. Not Kate.

No, you're missing a generation.
Kate
Kate's daughter
Next daughter (Kate's granddaughter)

Anyone else read the word “daughter” too many times and now it looks weird?

Agreed - see link above. It would have to be worded differently to be the daughter.

LiarLiarKnickersAblaze · 31/10/2023 00:05

I take that back! I get it now!
