Another common reason mothers and daughters give to explain why they are not getting along is their differing or similar personality traits. In recognizing that mothers and daughters relate within a sociocultural and multigenerational environment, the dynamics between them become easier to grasp.

Why are mums so hard on their daughters?

Our mothers are typically jealous of us because theyre dissatisfied with their own lives and struggle with low self-esteem. When a mom favors one daughter over another, its often because the preferred daughter is more like she is. They share the same beliefs, have commons interests, and make similar life choices.
