I am glad that you have a goal set for yourself and your daughter. We had the same idea with ours and we are very happy she came out as well as she did.

I, by no means, want to imply that my daughter has to dress or act as society expects her to. Just the opposite, in fact. I want her to be confident and well spoken, and well traveled - but most of all, I want her to be who she is, not who anyone expects her to be. I take pride in being a woman - and I love femininity and I happen to love wearing a dress - that's just who I am, regardless what 'society' expects me to be. Does this mean that my daughter has to? Absolutely not. But I do want her to comfortable in whatever she chooses to wear, and whatever walk of life she wants to take -- I want her to follow her heart, and know that she has unconditional love from me, no matter what she chooses. I think that we are both saying the same things here, just in different ways! Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. Memoria,

Thanks for your thoughts.

I grew up as what was then called a "tomboy," so flowing dresses and suits and heels were never comfortable for me. But I do know that it is okay to be who I am and wear what I want and be comfortable and proud in both. You are a beautiful woman and your daughter is in your footsteps. And you do it so beautifully.

That is just what most of society expects from us. I would want my daughter to be comfortable enough in her skin to wear anything she wanted. I would not place on her the expectation of wearing pink, flowers, or a flowing dress, for example. I would want her to know that just because society expects her to act or dress a certain way, she doesn't have to be like that. She is a human first and foremost and is therefore equal to other humans. I would want her to live her life that way. I still enjoyed your words, though.
