I think mother knows daughter best until daughter hits 18 or 19 and leaves home. At that point I think daughter knows mother because she is trying to base some of life's major decisions on what mother has taught (shown) her, while hiding some or most of it from her mother. Then I think around 30ish the daughter starts to share more with her mother and it starts becoming 50/50 as the relationships take a turn into a little bit of women to women not just mother to daughter.

As far as husband vs. mother I would have to say 50/50 because it depends on what part of my life we are talking about.

This poll...

Not that Mommy eyes in the back of your head thing, but know them and what makes them tick. What to expect from them, what they're thinking, how to anticipate their reactions. Like that.


...is not turning out as our research suggested it would.

First off, the poll results are mirroring our initial study and my premise; moms know daughters better.

Then, as we delved deeper into the collective female bar psyche, we found that older women, those late 20's on up, upon our reiteration of the above focus of the study, what we meant by 'knowing', definitely, without reservation, agreed with the Vrail premise that daughters know mom better.

Now, I just did an extensive, thorough, 2 minute conversation with my 21 and 26 y/o ladies here at the greenhouse and, without hesitation, they both said they know ma better, by far. There goes the age theory.

Hmmm...

Why is the poll not mirroring the world as we know it???

I don't have a clue. I think I knew my mother differently than my sisters did, and well in the ways that a daughter tries to please a mother. But, I knew close to nothing about her upbringing and emotions as those things were not surfaced much in our house. I know even far less yet about grandparents and any other relatives.

As far as my mother knowing me, she was aware of things I may or may not have experimented with, being the youngest of six, but I don't think she really got to know me as a person. She was a bit too tired then ill then passed before that kind of companionship could mature. My sister, on the other hand, could probably answer this easily. So, I have no vote.
