Women Are Sharing The Advice Their Mothers Gave Them That They Would Never Give Their Own Daughters

“‘See the best in everyone.’ My mom is the perfect, most incredible mom and person. She gives money to charity and compliments people on the subway; she’s the perfect human being. I love her TO DEATH and am extremely lucky to have her! However…”

“To this day, she still sees the best in everyone and gets betrayed frequently; people constantly lie to her or hurt her feelings, and she is shocked each time. It’s been happening to her at work lately; her boss takes advantage of her genuine desire to help him and gives her way too much work — to the point where she works nights and weekends. She’s the oldest person on her team; she should have HIS job!

I do not want kids, but if I had one, especially a daughter, I’d make sure she knows that people may present themselves as someone they aren’t when they first meet you and misrepresent their true intentions. The answer to this, in my opinion, is always to wait and see their actions and judge by that. I learned this the hard way in college. If I could tell young women ANYTHING, it would be to judge what people do, not what they say.”
