Re: Passing on Experience
The advice I have always given to several of my grand-daughter's who almost all have brothers, is the following.....
You were raised as young ladies and if you wish to be treated like a young lady then you have to act like a young lady. That means....
Never never never act like one of the boys when you are with your brothers and their friends....
No approval of any of the boys swearing in front of you, (a startled ..did you just use that filthy swearword in front of me? look is definitely a must)
No laughing at either your brother's or their friends filthy jokes, (straight face and a tut absolutely a must).
No letting brother's friends ever see you without you looking fabulous at all time.
Always act coyly and ladylike when mixing with your brothers friends at social do's. ( The noisy, loud, one of the boys type of girl never gets taken home to meet mum and dad. )
On your first date with one of your brother's friends, which most local lads are, never ever kiss them, always wait for them to kiss you.
On your first, second and even third date, never ever let them touch you up or get you into bed. You will be classed as easy the moment the relationship ends.
Never let your brother's friends see you in a temper or a bad mood. Reputations are made on what they see is your character.
and finally,
Never ever character assassinate other girls to your brother's friends, it just makes you look and sound a bitch !
my girls take the micky out of their nan but hopefully they heed all of my advice...
