My question is really simple. What is a good word that describes the value of each parent to a daughter and vice versa? One good idea I thought of is: a mother is her first love and she's her born-again image. For the dad I got: he's her hero and she's the adoration of his "little girl". I'm really asking for the mother&daughter part 'coz i'm satisfied with the dad's part but new ideas to both would help me think. Thanks in advance.

What exactly do you want us to tell you? I don't quite understand how it's relevant to this forum.

It's not really advice I'm looking for. But if you can sum up the value of a daughter to a mother, for example, in one word, what would it be? For instance, is the daughter a mother's [precious]? a mother's [identity]? a mother's [special girl]? a mother's [best friend]? In other words, if you're a parent of a daughter, what is one special word, or "a.k.a.", that would describe your daughter's relationship to you? For example, Jessica is my daughter, a.k.a., my [identity] or my [spitting image] or my [remade image] or whatever cool word you can think of. Hope that helps.

If you're wondering about words and descriptions, I suggest you take this thread over to CGR Literature. They can probably help you out with word associations. This is an *advice* forum, and since you're not really asking for advice, then this thread doesn't belong here.

actually, since it's asking for descriptions on a parental relationship I think it'd be better suited in Parenting. I f they feel differently over there then they can put it where they want it.

Tippity toe and off we go!

but see, that differs with each parent, with each child, with each relationship. see, with my family, I'm Grampaw's little girl. I always will be. I'm acquaintances with my father. I'm friends with my Gramma, and had little opportunity to build a relationship with my mother.

dido but in a different mix. I was looking for generic interpretations. Like IF I had a perfect life with perfect relationships, generically, my mom is my "best friend" and my dad "my hero". Hmm. In this case, what is another connotation that i can use for my mom or my dad? What about me? I'm daddy's "little girl"? or his "pride and joy as the son"? Either way I'm ending this thread because I'm looking for figurative interpretations in the topic of parenting relationships. Well I dunno how to end it but someone please here end it. But before you do let others put their final comments, if any. Bye bye!

P.S. Please don't move this thread to another appropriate thread as I've already posted a thread in a different forum more relevant and accurate to my true concerns. Happy holidays to everyone and to ShredCheddar, avoiding, Chris & Danalyn.
