Every mother probably wants a cute little princess as her daughter, who will one day grow up to be a good, capable, obedient, smart and beautiful lady. Unfortunately, not all wishes come true.

But does that mean that if I'm not my mother's dream princess, I can't be a good daughter? I think her daughter looks good to every mom, even if she doesn't listen, learn, or sometimes say something she regrets later.

I'm not a dream princess either, but I don't consider myself a second-rate daughter just because I don't have beautiful long hair, I don't have medals at school, and my occasional catchphrases are sometimes for anger.

However, I do not want to say that I have always felt this way. When I was younger, and I did something wrong, my parents reprimanded me for it, and then I just cried quietly in my room, thinking it would be better if I weren't born, because at least I wouldn't have to worry about my parents and be a nuisance to them. But as the years passed, and I became more mature, I realized how much I meant to my parents.

Even though there are times when I still have the idea that I shouldn't be a good daughter to them, that they want to remake me to their liking not caring about my choices, and I admit that even though I know they didn't even think of it, that idea scares me. And I also sometimes wonder how nice I'd be if I weren't, the worst thing is that I often think if I'm out of the house, and they're left alone, they'll be happy. But if I look at it from the other side, I can say I'm not happy with my parents, or at least one of them, though as they would like to change me, I would like to change myself. So I would say that the relationship between a daughter and her parents has stayed the same often since the neolithic time.

I sometimes think it doesn't seem like it, but I'm doing everything I can to make my parents accept me the way I am, to be a good daughter to them. I try to fulfil their wishes, but not every time my attempt succeeds completely according to their wishes. Furthermore, I try to listen to them, even though I know I'm an adult and I have the right to do whatever I want doing no harm to anyone, but I know that no matter how old I am, they'll always support me, and they'll worry about me, and that's why I love them and I don't want to disappoint them.

But being a good daughter doesn't just mean fulfilling all your parents' wishes. I think a good daughter is a little girl or a grown-up girl who can put a smile on her parents' face.
