Comparisons

The latest line from Miss 4.....'I'm going to tell my mummy on you'

This came after an argument about Miss 4 putting on her tights before going outside to play. This statement comes in a long line of statements comparing me to her mother. My risotto was 'yuk and not like mum's' and 'my mum said I don't have to do that'. Oh dear....how do I deal with this?? Help!

I know it isn't a competition but it's hard being compared and accepting that I will never be as good as her mum. I have to get over that, I'm not her mum, I am her friend and her father's partner. To our dear Miss 4, she has a mum and a dad and all I can settle for is playing a key role in her life as a special friend :) For that I am grateful.
