Melissa,
You don't really know what they are saying just by what they have responded to you. Maybe if you focused on what they are doing right instead of assuming that they are wrong things will get better.
My daughter is a different ethnicity than I am and people say we look alike. I see that as a great compliment to me because she is so beautiful. But I think that what they really see is how close we are. And I dress her so she wears clothing that is like what I wear. She also uses many of the same words and phrases that our family uses. I don't really want my daughter to want to look like me. I want her to be happy to look like herself. The beautifull, loving and wonderfull person she is is more than enough for our family.
