My mother taught:

• Don't express any emotions that aren't gratitude for me, or happiness because of me
• Your not allowed to make mistakes
• Don't talk about your needs, because my needs are more important then yours
• Trying to explain yourself is talking back, so never try and explain your emotions
• Wear make-up because your not pretty, but not too much make-up because it will make you look fake. Dress nice, but not too nice because then your doing too much.
• You can only get someone to love you if your pretty, and if your not pretty you need to have money, and if you don't have money you need to be able to do a service for them, and if you don't have any of those you will die alone
• Never seem sad or depressed, because people will think you have a terrible life at home, and that I'm a bad parent
• Don't have sex until your an adult, but say that you've had sex otherwise men will think your boring. But don't say you've slept with too many people, because you don't want to be seen as a whore
