& those people are usually the ones that should.
she wont ever learn too either, this is going to be a long long struggle for OP :-( My father in law ruined a video of my son walking by saying loudly how shitty he thought my nephew was. It's been an issue getting him to stop openly preferring the 1st grandson over the 2nd. So now I cant even share the video with the family or it will start a huge family wide fight. good luck OP
It's not just about keeping her mouth shut. It's plain sad for any adopted kid's grandma to think like this
Was your son walking while singing Bohemian Rhapsody? If not, cut the audio & set the video to music. Problem solved.
Try to cheer your daughter up OP. A real parent is a person who loves, supports, and cares for the child. It doesn't matter if you're not the biological parent. What your mom said was really insensitive
Dub the video so it is mute or has a music track. There is a lot of software to do that. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.
can use the track from 2001: a space odyssey. from when the early humans start using tools in front of the monolith. as he rises up and starts walking.
You could edit the voices out and put some happy music instead.
Your daughter should cheer up! You can't choose your mother but she was chosen by you :)
That is the most beautiful thing I've seen on this site
This really is the most perfectly worded thing, I wish all adopted children with doubts could see these words
This was beautifully put, but still it's tough to have a grandma that clearly doesn't see you as a real family member. Poor daughter.
Yeah ^-^ one of my friends and her brother are adopted. She loved that fact and when asked why, would respond "everyone else's parents were stuck with whatever kid they had. My mother CHOSE us!" I feel all adopted kids should see it this way. Their parents put a lot of time and effort into finding and jumping through the necessary hoops to bring their adopted child home. Of course they love the children that they choose.
I absolutely love this reply.
Coming from an adopted kid who has heard that over and over again, it's not absorbed the way it's meant to. Even as a little kid when people would say that crap to me I would picture my parents looking through a catalog of kids and would think "thank goodness I was pretty enough/cute enough/whatever enough for them to pick me." It doesn't make a kid feel like they belong, it makes them feel like they were picked because of some feature that made them attractive to their parents.
she should be happy her friends parents could hate them but her mom hand picked her
Geez, some people are just so inconsiderate.
Some people don't know when yo open their mouths
That's really mean -.- It's not your daughter's fault that she wasn't born into your family.
This is why kids are still ashamed of something they should be proud of.
^^^This. My (adopted) sister is almost 12 and she is still insecure about being adopted and sometimes doubts she's part of the family. The grandma is a a total bitch for saying or even thinking such a thing.
At least you adopted her. There are plenty of kids out there who wish they can have a good family.
Or any family at all. There are way too many kids that have no idea of what a family is. Because they have never had one, and many of the people they trust haven't had a family either.
It's also a shitty thing to think, imo. An adopted child is just as much a part of the family as a birthed one.
...and didn't cause their mom to have stretch marks and a trip to the delivery room. The biological mother did it for the kid's mom.
