Im I a weird mother?
A little background
My mother died when I was 9 years old. I had 2 older sister (4 & 8 yrs older) who I never been close to. We have same parents its just that I’ve always been a loner.
Everything from doing my hair, my period and sex I’ve learned on my own. I didn’t even tell my sisters or dad that I started my period.
I vowed that I would be open and honest with my kids and they can come to me about any and everything.
I wished I had a mother or better yet if my step mother wasn’t so evil I could have talked to her.
Fast forward
Im a mother of 3 beautiful girls and my oldest one who will be 13 in 3 months just got her 1st cycle. I gifted her a box of goodies for becoming a women. One item that was in the box was razors.
So, she asked me to help her shave. I shaved one of her armpits and she did the other just as I did. Next, she wanted to cut down and shave her pubic hair So I assisted on helping her.
Does that make me a mother that is doing to much for her daughter? Is that not giving my daughter her dignity? Im i that mother that women call weird because her daughter tells her everything and helps her shave her cookie box?
Addition to post
I do not call it her cookie box.
When I told my sisters I helped my daughter shaved shes the one that said it so i was just going off of what she said.
Heres the box I made her
Thanks for everyones input
My daughter loves her period box and as you see theres a a pink envelope with a card inside with a personal letter that I wrote. Here dad put a little note in the the card too.
After reading your comments I’m happy to call myself “a weird mother” for those of you that deemed it weird.
I wasn’t sure if i wqs going overboard because I didn’t have an example. All I knew is, my daughter will have a mother she can come to about any and everything. And she does ❤️❤️.
After talking to my husband and reading the other comments im happy to call myself an AWESOME MOTHER!!!
