Did your mom ever show you how to do makeup?

Or talk to you about boys or dating?
Talk to you about yourself as a young lady?
About what to expect from relationships, how to respect yourself..?
Hold you/comfort you when you were sad?
Do girls nights together?


I longed for any of those things. Unfortunately , never had or got even one.
I didn't even wear any makeup, until I was 17. Most girls now are applying it by 11 or 12 years old. I wonder how much more of life I could live with ease, with confidence etc. if any need or want had actually been filled by my 'mother'. It really makes me sad , but I'm trying to push onward and upward in any way.

Mum had 4 boys and she always wanted a girl. So we all know how to cook and how to use a sewing needle.
@Thevy29 My father was one of three boys. Their mother taught them all how to cook; she told them, "You all love to eat, and you shouldn’t starve if you don’t find wives right away !"

Pop needn’t have worried, but Mom was grateful that he could cook, too. 😊
