Ever since I was a little girl I have always been compared to one person. My mother. Don't get me wrong the following are not hate signals towards her. I love my mother because, well she's my mother. When I was much younger everyone I met, all my aunts and uncles etc,. would compare me to my mother. I was expected to be much like her. Years have gone and not much has changed. People still expect me to be like her either that or my accomplishments are compared to hers. One night my mother and some of my godparents were drinking and having a good time, I didn't really mind their presence their and to tell you the truth, I didn't really care. One of my godparents called for me and I obliged and walked to their table. My godparent said I was beautiful and that I had a lot of potential for success. Offcourse I was flattered and I thanked her for her compliment. Unfortunately my mother was not pleased, and since she was drunk she went kind of "Coo-Coo" She started telling my godparent that "I had no potential, She was way better, she was preettier, she was hotter, she had a better body, she was successful,when she was at my age, she had men drooling, until now she still has that effect" and so she claims. They looked at me like a filth. I got pissed and gave my mother a couple more beers and told her "Dont hate me cause she thinks Im better than you now, It's a sign you're getting old ans senile. You must have forgoten I'm you're daughter and you're not suppose to talk to me like im filth. Or are you just lashing out on me because Im more responsible than you will everbe in you're whole life and you know it. With that I left. My mother didnt apologize and neither did I. But we are ok now. Well when I say ok I mean better than before. For you guys, have you ever been compared to someone you know who you think is you're complete opposite, if you have how did you feel about it? Share you're opinions with the people here in mylot.

Like you, I've always been compared to my mom. She's like a shadow over me. People always say I should have taken my looks from my mom and not my dad's, then I would have been prettier. My mom is so pretty and I don't mind at all being compared to her. It makes me proud to have a pretty mom!!!I'd be lucky to even be half the person she is. And no matter how people think less of me compared to my mom, I'd always be happy for just being the wind beneath her wings.
