Tag Archives: lessons learnt from Mom

A few things my Mother taught me

  1. Don’t forget to moisturize your neck – it’s usually a dead giveaway of your age.
  2. Smoking is gross.
  3. Drugs are NEVER cool.
  4. Be careful with alcohol. Women usually get drunk from their toes up. It’s never flattering and there WILL be regrets.
  5. Only have s.ex with someone if you REALLY love them and if you are 100% sure that they feel the same way. In fact, s.ex within a marriage is AWESOME. So wait.
  6. Treat EVERYONE with respect and with kindness. EVERYONE.
  7. All is fair in love and war. If DH spends x amount on cigarettes, then take that same amount of money for your own personal use. BEFORE budgeting.
  8. Lack of sleep causes bad skin and circles under your eyes – sleep for AT LEAST 7 hour every night.
  9. Don’t overdo it with the make-up. Less is more. Same with jewellery.
  10. Don’t judge.  Besides the fact that judgement is actually God’s job and NOT yours, you just never know what lies ahead for you.
  11. Your husband was in your life BEFORE your kids.  They are NEVER more important than him. DON’T neglect him. Ever.
  12. Wear clothing that fits properly.
  13. Motherhood is not a synonym for Martyr.

Any cool lessons (I’m leaning more towards lighter stuff) that you learned from your Mom?  Share PLEASE?
