what *ONE* piece of advice would you want to pass on to your daughter

[fattiemumma]

if you could only give one piece of advice what would it be?

having spoken to so many women over the years and to me the most important piece of inromation i can give her is to respect herself and never to allow anyone to treat her in any other way.

what would yours be?

Put yourself first always

Have financial independence

(but that's if I'm ONLY allowed one)

Look after your body, go for your smear, check your breasts and flaunting next Thursday's laundry is not attractive.

never have any regrets

The one piece of advice for my daughter....?

Listen to your mother.

Id say - 'try everything-do it,dare to do it and risk it' .....then come home drink hot choc with me and tell me all about it.

dont believe what you read in the papers.

Never believe 'he's just not the type'...they've all got the potential and given the right opportunity at the wrong time they will, so keep your eyes open.

Dont follow trends, stereotypes and cliches. Do what YOU want to do.

LOL at plonker and milleniwmffalcon

lol mileniwmffalcon - that is our family motto! Others have 'strength in the face of adversity' etc, and we have that ''never eat anything bigger than your own head'.

My one piece of advice? Listen to your mother!

don't get pregnant when you are a teenager - you will be poor and i'm not babysitting

Custy

pmsl custy!

So can men tell their sons to put themselves first always, too, or is that likely to get them deemed selfish bastards?...

if i were to give my son one piece of advice it'd be the same.

respect yourself and dont allow anyone to persuade you not to.

oh....and put a hat on if its gonna get wet

It is never OK to turn yesterday's pants inside out if you have run out of clean ones.

Just go without pants. It's nice on a summer day in long grass.

When I was starting university my dad told me not to forget the four Fs. Don't think I'll be passing that one on...

I told dd1 (9) at the weekend that she should make sure she works hard at school and gets a good job because she's going to need a cleaner when she's older - can't keep stuff tidy to save her life.

Just because everybody else thinks something is true, doesn;t mean it is. Check the evidence before you believe anything that sounds stupid or wrong, because it probably is. (Advice I will be giving DS - don;t actually have a DD but if I did I would advise her the same).

It'd be 'Always ask me, because mostly I've been there, done it and worn the tee shirt and I have loads of good advice for you'

Listen to everything, and and make up your own mind.
I'd say the same to a son as well.

What are the four Fs?

They're rude. Find 'em, feel 'em, 'em and forget 'em. Classy geezer, my dad.
