In a recent Care and Feeding column, a mother discusses her mother-in-law's habit of buying her daughter ultra-feminine clothing despite knowing her daughter dislikes them. The gifts often lead to confusion, as the grandmother believes her granddaughter will eventually appreciate the style. The columnist suggests that while the grandmother’s efforts are appreciated, it is crucial for her to respect Jade’s preferences, potentially using visual aids to help guide future gift choices. Ultimately, maintaining an open dialogue about Jade’s interests is key to resolving the situation.
While it's heartening to see a grandparent's effort to connect, it's essential for Pam to recognize that Jade's preferences matter more than her expectations.
The best approach is often to maintain open communication; sharing a visual guide like a 'look board' can help Pam understand Jade's style better.
