Ella's card is so OTT - "hard work" lol "talented" lol "I owe my life to you" puke. Who writes like this?? I think she did write it though as it's similar to other cards she's done.
She is very well trained in giving narc supply to mommie dearest. This will be another exhibit for the court.
I have no opinion on whether this was written by Ella or not, but 2 things stand to out to me. From about grade 3, kids in most states are still expected to write in cursive or at least joined up writing. I have already said my GD's handwriting is poor but when she does write, it normally in cursive which is why is pretty impossible to read sometimes. Ella uses 3 different spellings here for Mother, Mummy, Mom and Mum. My American born GD would never use Mum. I am sure Ella reads here, so maybe she could clear up the mystery.
That is a really nice messsage board, and I have no doubt she actually means it. I didn't really like my own Mother, to be honest, I would never had picked her as a friend, but I loved her all the same. She tried her best and she, in turn, did not have the best of mothers, very narassictic.
Plus, in stores, there aren't many options other than this, they aren't likely to sell message boards that says, Mother & Daughters, side by side or Miles apart, we will always disagree whose the better looking one! Mother/daughter relationships much like Father/son relationship are difficult at the best of time, even more so, in trying times.
