On apples and trees

Turning into your mother can be a joy and a trial. #DearDaughter

Turning into your mother can be a joy and a trial. When Jacinta in Johannesburg became a parent, she found that her perspective on her own mother changed completely. She reads a letter to her young daughters about what they can learn from older generations after realising β€œthe apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”. Plus, how to avoid telling your children that they’ll only understand things when they get older.
