Intuitively you were already on the right track not doing the &quot;mall thing&quot; with her, but developed other interests together.</p> <p>I like shopping, but I was advised by my therapist it's healthy for mother's and daughter's to create a stronger foundation of social bonding beyond shopping, do things that did not involve mom buying child new clothes while they &quot;bond&quot; ;)&gt;</p> <p>I do understand the shopping excitement. I love to shop, and probably the only adult women who adores malls more than any normal person should.
