Mom Says She Shouldn’t Force Her Daughter To Say Thank You To An Older Man Who Complimented Her Appearance

In an effort to teach kids to be polite, especially little girls, parents sometimes make them sit in discomfort and engage with people they don’t want to interact with. Liz Kindred, a mom and content creator, doesn’t want her daughter to have that experience. She detailed an incident in which she refused to force her daughter to accept a compliment from a stranger. Many online praised her for respecting her child’s autonomy. The mom said she shouldn’t have to force her 6-year-old daughter to say ‘thank you’ to an older man who complimented her appearance. “I was in line this morning with my six-year-old and a grown man turned around and said to my six-year-old, ‘My goodness, you sure are pretty,’” Kindred recalled. “My six-year-old is gorgeous, yes, but she is also very in tune and perceptive and she’s an introvert so she grabbed my leg really tight.” The man didn’t take the little girl’s obvious hesitation as a sign to turn around and mind his business, but instead doubled down on the compliment, saying, …

Mom Says Her 4-Year-Old Hates Her And Prefers Her Stepmom

Relationships between parents and children are often complicated. However, many people expect this complicated stage to come later in life. It’s not quite so prevalent during the toddler years when kids are still cuddly and loving. Unfortunately for one mom, her daughter has expressed some conflicting emotions about their relationship at just four years old. A mom said her four-year-old daughter told her she ‘hates’ her and likes her stepmom more.

Little Girl Asks Her Mom Not To Tell Her Dad A Secret

Parenting comes with its fair share of explanations, like telling your kids that they can’t eat chicken nuggets for every meal and that yes, they really do have to brush their teeth and take a bath. A parent’s role as negotiator-in-chief gets more complicated as kids grow up to learn who they are, what they like, and what they don’t like. A mom named Molly Rainwater shared a story about her 7-year-old daughter that captured the emotional gymnastics of raising kids to be strong and independent while recognizing that you’ll always see them as your babies. Rainwater’s daughter asked her mom not to tell her dad a secret, but she has a rule that she tells him everything, no matter what. Rainwater recounted how one morning, her daughter came to her and said, “’Mom, I’ve got to tell you something, but you can’t tell dad.’” RELATED: After Finding Out Her Daughter Was Bullying A Classmate, A Kind Mom Forces The Girl To ‘Humble Herself’ And Make It Right “One thing about me and my husband and also …

Little Girl Teaches Mom An Important Lesson About Anger After Telling Her She Hates Her Name

If there’s one truth to parenting, it’s that your kids will grow into their own little people, with their own opinions and viewpoints, no matter how you raise them. One mom and daughter duo had a discussion that proved that kids will make up their own minds about who they want to be. The little girl taught her mom an important lesson about anger after revealing that she hates her name. “My daughter doesn’t like her real name,” the mom explained in a TikTok video. She asked her daughter to say her name, to which the young girl replied, “Mia.” “That’s not your name,” her mom answered. The mom prompted her daughter to share her full name. The young girl repeated the name “Mia,” while playing with her mom’s hair.
