EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Bethenny Frankel's Long-Lost Childhood Pics
Even as a young child, Bethenny was camera ready and had a sense of style. One photo of her by the pool shows her rocking a cute pixie cut and adorable technicolor one piece swimsuit while another has her hamming it up while still in diapers.
"She doesn't miss the chance to interject her terrible childhood in her show," Bethenny's mom Bernadette Birk told RadarOnline.com. But, Birk adds, "there were so many wonderful times" during Bethenny's upbringing.

Regardless of their estranged relationship, Bethenny's mom only wishes her well and is happy about what her daughter has achieved.
"She seems to have a very loving husband and I'm sure he will be a really good father," Birk said about Bethenny's husband Jason Hoppy. "She is successful and she has her baby so why throw a fly in the ointment... She has a good life so who can ask for more than that for their child.
"I wish them all the best, especially the baby."

I believe everthing her mother is saying about her. You can c how bad she treats Jason. What goes around comes around she'll hear the words repeated to her by her daughter one day."I hate her"

If 'mom' thought a few photos of a birthday cake for her daughter was going to make her mother of the year, she's sadly mistaken. Notice she threw in a couple photos with her (mom) looking glamorous, while her daughter looked sad and detached.

I just looked at all the photos and I am so disgusted with Bethenny's mom. What is wrong with that woman that she would release such personal photos of her daughter as a child? It shows the MOTHER has a screw loose!

She looks like a troubled child

I think it's only fair that mom gets her say. After all, we here Bethenny feel sorry for herself over and over. There's two sides to every story.

Why the long face in the current pictures?

B. didn't hide behind her childhood, she let it be known why & where her issues came from. Whatever was lacking in her family, she has vowed to make sure it doesn't happen to her baby instead of repeating the cycle. I think she'll be a great mommy!

I was struck by how radically the bone structure in her face has changed. She was a really cute child.

Bethenny's mother is a female Michael Lohan. This is the 2nd story she has SOLD$$$ to Radar Online in October. Will she be on US Weekly cover next???

I agree Bjan... instead of working towards making amends w/B and maybe being able to make it up some how by being a true Grandmother to the baby - she just proved that B. made the right choice by keeping her away. Sad.
