How do a Tom-Boy and a Girlie-Girl get along?

You have to try to compromise a little. I am a tom-boy all the way through too! I let my daughter do things like paint my toenails (while I read runner's world); or I let her experiment with her hair (since I didn't have a clue!). You can always have a "tea party" with her. That lets her be the girlie girl without sucking you in! So there are a lot of things you can figure out how to do with her that allows her to be her and you to be yourself! (without losing your sanity!)

A tom boy and a girly girl will get along the same way a girl gets along with a boy. I'm very girly and my best friend was a tom boy. I have also had a best friend who was a guy, and it's really no different. Everyone has atleast something in common, there must be something you guys both like that you can talk about in the future. Maybe you guys will like the same music, or the same tv shows, or you guys will have similar careers. There will always be something, it doesn't matter if her personality is different than yours.

I think a t0m boy and a girlie girl can get along very well. We are all individuals. if we all behaved in the same ways, life would be very boring. You can't choose what your friends will like to do. you can't choose their lifestyle. All you can do is be there for each other. it doesn't matter if you are a tom boy or a little princess.

I'm pretty sure that a tom boy can easily get along with a girly girl because their opposites even though they may not share the same interests they can get along pretty easy.Girly girls love to hang out with tom boys because their out there and fun I'm a girly girl and I love to hang out with tom boys because they know how to have fun. Good luck in this. I know that you will make it work somehow.

It's really all about finding a common interest between the two of you. Fidn that adn the 'tom-boy' , 'girlie-girl' labels with slide away and you two will just become people - become just mom and daughter turned friends over this common bond. Sure, maybe you lieks ports and such and she like makeup but that dosnt mean you dont have a similar hobbie or a topic of interest for the two of you to discuss. Youc an larn new tungs about yourself through your interaction with her (not only as she is your daughter but the opposite of you). and vice versa. Since she is so young now it is pretty important that you build some sort of a foundation for conversationw ith her now...not that you wont be able to later but it's probalkly goingt o make future endeavers much easier if the two of you see eye to eye on at least one thing. But dont stress it. If you try to hard and force these things to ahppen it will most likely backfire on you. Just let it ahppen and be on the lookout. There isnt too much you can share in common with a seven year oldt o start with so pace yourself and just do it. :) Try talkignt o her, whuile she is young and may not be thinking in the same way as you when approaching this ask her what her interests are adn try to explore new things with her. For all you know you both may need to be intorduced to soemthing new. Also, try to take some interest in the things she likes. Not neccessarily just amkeup (there is usually more to a girl wo likes that stuff, you know), but as she grows try to understand her point of view and her interests in televisiona dn music and tryto share some bond in a sport (if she ever gets interested in a sport...or it's players :P) or a game of some sort. You can bond over anything really. Good luck and I hope everythign works out with you and your daughter.

If she get's older and be a teenager, no mom will actually gets to understand them, believe me. They will think of us parents as an outsiders. But of course in many cases, kids can still be close with their parents. But for your problem, in time, you will find things that both of you likes. for examples movie, music, food, maybe arts....Or at least you could start to like the music/idols that she will love one day, and keep on being a good listener for her.

Hello Anobel. I'm a true tomboy too. I never played with dolls when I was a kid, people used to buy me dolls and other girly things but I preferred my brother's toys. I used to play football in the street with my brother and his friends. I've never liked girly music, always bands who have a mostly male following. I get on really well with the more "girly" women, I've never had a problem with that and I'm not boyish looking, I just have male interests so to speak. Maybe you could both meet half way, involve yourself in here girly activities and also try to add some of your tomboy character to them, maybe invent a game called Barbie Collects Frogs

well, although you see these differences in your daughter, perhaps trying to be a patient listener is the key in this situation. Your daughter is at the stage of discovering her likes and dislikes, and your approval is very important to her. So, just letting her know that, although makeup and salons are not exactly your cup of tea, you still support her in her pursuits. Plus, one is never too old to try new things. If you havent already, take the time to just step out of your comfort level and do activities she likes. Whether it be painting nails, going to the hair salon, or even getting a spa treatment, take this as a new experience and a new lesson to learn. Never hurts to try, right?
