Hair, Make-Up, and Daughters that Tell It Like It Is

My six-year-old daughter, Joy, is one who always notices details.  We like to say that she doesn’t miss a thing.  One day I went up to her room.  She looked up and said, “Are we going to church?”  I told her that we weren’t.  Very indignantly she responded, “Then why are you wearing make-up?”

Tuesday she asked me, “Mom, why did you brush your hair?”

Then Wednesday I told her we were taking her to choir, “Oh so that’s why you brushed your hair!” she said.

Well the first time I thought it was funny. Now I’m beginning to think she has a point. It reminded me of my sister Sara saying, “It’s the rest of us that have to suffer.” So I think I’ll endeavor to give this area of my life a little more attention.

Are you a stay at home mom? Do you struggle in this area?

    I am a stay at home business owner, a mother of an adult, but I struggle with this too. Not so much with brushing my hair, but the make-up part. I hardly wear it anymore at all.

    I know what you mean, yes! I stay at home with my son and unless we have plans for the day, it’s so easy to stay in sweats. I am going to start waking up earlier so that I can get showered, dressed and put together before my kiddo wakes up. Since he wakes @6, it’s a bit of a challenge. We shall see! 🙂

    Absolutely!! And, my wise mentor recently said, “Even if you don’t do anything outside the house all day long, when you know your husband is on his way home, take 10 minutes & look nice for him.”

    Sometimes I wish I did less more often. Because unfortunately the main reason I still do my make-up every day is becasue I’m too self-conscious without it. I prefer my hubby not even see me without it – at least eye make up anyway. I have no eyes without it! lol (I do only wear jeans & t-shirt most days though. & my hair is pretty much always in a pony tail…)

    I resemble this remark. When my husband’s out of town with work and I’m not venturing out anywere, I do my hair (in a braid most every day) but not my makeup. The dogs and cats and chickens, etc… don’t seem to mind. 🙂

    I can relate to this one. I always make sure the kids are dressed and looking nice, but often neglect myself. I need to get back to paying attention to this. Thanks for the reminder. ~Jessica

    I just recently quit my job and started staying home with my two. (Yay!) I make it a point to wake up early, shower, dress, and put on make-up. The agreement my husband and I have is that I get 30 minutes of uninterrupted “getting-ready” time in the mornings. He must watch the kids. I’ve got a pretty laid back husband and realize some guys won’t be willing to do that, but it starts my day off on the right foot.
