10 things only mothers understand about daughters

The bond between a mother and her daughter is like that between the body and the soul. They will both be there for each other no matter how life or people test them. Mothers can go at any length to take care of their daughters. Every mom sees herself in her daughter; the love of a mother is rare and immeasurable. They are there for you no matter what and know you inside out. Like the famous saying goes:

“Words are not enough to express the unconditional love that exist between a mother and a daughter.”

Here are 10 things only mothers understand about their little girls.

1. A mother’s treasure is her daughter

From the moment the daughter is born, she becomes the most essential part of her life. A mother finds parts of herself in her daughter; she sees her daughter’s hopes, dreams and ambitions, and she sees the girl she used to be. She sees the mistakes she made, the things she could have done, and makes sure that her daughter gets a better life than she did. A daughter is a piece of her mother that exists outside of her, yet one that is always intrinsically connected.

2. A daughter is someone you laugh with, dream with, and love with all your heart

A mother spends most of her life trying to put a smile on her daughter’s face. She is the one who laughs with her daughter when the tailor ruins her eid jora, she is the one who holds her daughter’s hand as she becomes a woman. A mother is the first person a daughter looks up to, and the strongest supporter of her dreams.



 

3. The best place to cry is on a mother’s arms

It’s instinctual to go to a mother and cry. Every daughter does it. A mother holds her daughters hand when her lifelong dream of becoming an artist fails. A mother wipes her daughter’s tears when she gets a bad grade. A mother picks up the pieces after a daughter’s first heartbreak. A daughter hears her mother’s voice, and no matter what has happened, she knows that that is the place where she is safest.

4. You will be her first kiss, first love and first friend

The love of a mother is incomparable. She is a daughter’s number one role model, the one she confides in, the one she gives butterfly kisses to before bed every night. It can never be taken away, and it can never be substituted.

5. A mother knows what her child’s gone through, even if she didn’t see it herself

A mother can look at her daughter’s face and know that something is wrong. She is the one person that understands when no one else does and the one person that can always make everything better.

6. A mother is a daughter’s first best friend

The first person a girl fights with, the first person she cries to, and the first person she confides in is always her mother. A mother knows that dark chocolate at two am is always a bad sign; she knows from the way her daughter’s lip twitches that she’s excited. She always knows because that little girl used to be her.

7. Most mothers are instinctive philosophers

Mother’s always teach their daughters the difference between good and bad. A mother always knows when a friend is loyal, or when a decision is right. It’s inexplicable, but there is a connection that is so deeply rooted between a mother and daughter that gives a mother the ability to conceive the inconceivable when it comes to her kin.

8. A mother’s love liberates

When a mother tells her daughter that she believes in her, it is the greatest complement in the world. It allows her daughter to dream in the impossible, because she knows that mother is behind her, encouraging her every step of the way.

9. Like mother, like daughter

A little girl dreams to be like her mother. She mimics the way she talks, the way she ties her hair and tries to make it her own. As she grows older, she copies her mother’s favourite lipstick, her style of dressing, and sometimes without even knowing she becomes her mother.

10. Angels are often disguised as mothers

Mothers have all the answers. They know where that one missing sock went, how to finish that last minute school project – all of it. A mother drops everything to help her daughter, and in a way, she is that guardian angel that every little girl wishes for.
