For my 18th birthday, my older sister gave me β10 Stupid Things Women Do To Mess Up Their Livesβ as a gift. My bratty, know-it-all 18-year-old self thought, βwho is this crazy woman and what a crappy gift!β I threw the book on the shelf and didnβt think much about it.
Several years later, I came across the book again and decided to read it. I was shocked and angry at myself, as I had already made some of the mistakes you wrote about. I kicked myself for not having read it sooner, but I took the information to heart and made some changes in my life.
When my oldest daughter turned 13, I re-gifted the book to her and told her βthe wisdom you will receive only occurs if you READ it! Donβt make the same mistake I did and wait until itβs too late to get the lessons and moral compass you will need for a good life.β Of course, my husband and I taught the morals as well, but your book provided great guidance and was a helpful roadmap, there to assist. When her younger sister turned 13, she passed it down to her.
