What is something your Mother taught you that you won't ever forget?

Answer 1

There are a few things....first of all she has always told me to know what it is to be independent. Always have the ability or be prepared to take care of yourself so you don't have to depend on a man to do it for you. If anything were to ever happen to your husband whether it be through divorce, death, whatever....you need to be able to support yourself so you're not stuck.

Second, always pay your house note/rent, and car payment on time. Even if you have to pay your other bills late, pay these.

Finally, always try to look your best. You owe it to yourself and everyone else around you to not be slovenly. You feel better if you take care of yourself and other people will be more receptive of you. How do you feel when somebody gross or unkempt comes and talks to you?

Answer 2

Don't waste your time on men. As fate would have it, I never married and I never had an interest in boys growing up anyway. Boys were my friends but that's all I wanted them to be. I am happy to say that I am a lesbian and no it's honestly NOT because of my mother if that's what you think. I just LOVE women! My other sisters grew up on mom's advice, but they didn't take it! Now they suffer what I don't, and I have a beautiful, smart, sexy wife that any man would kill for!

Answer 3

Man good question she taught me a lot really. I would have to say the best and most remembered to this day is how to treat a woman and to never settle for second best when it comes to my relationships with them. Never let them lead you around by the nose and never sleep with someone you have no feelings for.
-NmD!

Answer 4

Something she taught me that I didn't understand or listen to until I was older and lived the consequences of it was to rely only on myself and prepare myself to be able to do so. Get an education! It is worth every dollar, hour and hardship you spend to get it.

Answer 5

I had a WONDERFUL Mother!! I couldn't say one word about her that wasn't anything but honoring. I feel extremely blessed to have been her child. Her life was respectful and very loving and unselfish. We all miss her deeply.

We observed her example of how to live our lives. She also loved to make our favorite meals ......all home cooking and never complained or talked bad about anyone. She was also wise.

Answer 6

How to make the bed and fold the sheets under at the corners, how to make pancakes, how to dust, how to snow ski, how to drive someone nuts while they are driving. Ha ha.

Like one person above me, she tried to teach me how to be a "lady", however that just didn't stick. I'm not unfeminine, but on the other hand, I'm certainly NOT lady like, and dam.n proud of it too!

Answer 7

Yes. By sticking with my father ( who was an abuser), she taught me to never let a man lay a hand on me in violence, to never be in a vulnerable position, never let him see you cry. And above all else, don't bring babies into the world to suffer your dumb mistakes.

Answer 8

That people are more important than things. She never got upset if something got broken accidentally. She would just say that people were more important than things.

Have to give my dad props too for, "things will work out." They always did.

Answer 9

She taught me so many wonderful things. One out of so many would be, "Always be a respectable lady."

Answer 10

to speak up...sometimes you have an idea that things should be done differently but no one will know unless you make a suggestion...this is especially valuable in business i have found.

always tell the truth...all you have is your word.

"remember who you are" is what she always said as i left the house...i always remember and i never waiver from that...it has kept me grounded and reminds me that i represent my family in all the choices i make...

and in relationships she says "sometimes you just gotta love him" yep my honey is a good man but sometimes he does stupid things and i just smile and bite my tongue...and think...good thing i love you.
