Subconsciously you have been letting her win as everyone wants their child to be very good at something. Yet by beating her at whatever activity it is. You prevent her by becoming good at it. It's a father/child stumbling block. |

Maybe, just maybe as you have let her win so much. You have actually forgotten how to win yourself? Doesn't matter how hard you try. You basically don't know how to do it no more as you can't remember what you did before in order to win, lol |

That's the stumbling block amongst children and parents. Their greatest joy and greatest sorrow is when they beat their parent for the first time, which is prolonged by the sudden bounce of guilt |
