Don't put makeup on no one cares!

My 13 year old daughter left her homework folder and science book home today. When I saw it on the table after she left I groaned and started putting makeup on.
My son heard the phone ring and brought it to me. It was my daughter asking me to bring her things to her. I told her it would be there in ten minutes.
She said ten minutes was to long and said "Don't put your makeup on no one cares."
Well girl I care and I wear makeup for myself not for others! It makes me feel more confident.

@shaggin I'll wear it sometimes when I go out but at work I'm in and out of the cold and the hot and sweating too much that it just doesn't matter. I will wear mascara most days though

thats funny. yes some of us have to have it for our own well being. but some don't understand. my mom would not step out of the house with out it. i started out that way at 14 yrs. , but kept getting told it didn't work for me by others. so i got to where i seldom wore it. now i wish i had worn it more because i don;t know how to apply it right. never learned

If you feel okay without it then that is awesome! It is harder to apply as we get older due to wrinkles etc. I started wearing it daily when I was 12 stopped for a year then started again and have worn it anytime I leave the house since and I am 34. My mother put eyeliner and mascara on as soon as she woke up always!

We use to put make up when going out. If it's your habit you will always do that. I'm used to going out without makeup now. I look plain when going out now. But we always look good with at least lipstick

@shaggin I love these BB creams, even the cheap ones. They seem to heal the breakouts I still get in my old age. They even the skin tone and do not seem to rub off on everything. I treat it like moisturizer, and am pleased with all the good things it does.

I don't wear make up.
But, you should do you. Not your fault she forgot her homework folder and you had to go drop it off for her. :P

That’s great you don’t feel the need to wear it all the time. Sure saves money!

She is lucky you would consider bringing it to her. My kids' teachers taught them it was their responsibility, and they in fact told their friends that when they had to stay after for forgetting things. Rescuing them does not help them become responsible. On the other hand, if you are going to take it to her, this one time, by all means, put on your makeup if you like to wear it, I would. Ten minutes is not too long for her to have to wait.

She works hard to keep her grades as good as she can get them. I am very forgetful and would forget my head if it wasn’t attached so I am understanding when she forgets something. She has the second highest gpa in her grade so I’m proud of her! If I left something at home I wouldn’t have cared as I never did my homework anyway. I was a terrible student. I am so glad she is self motivated to do well!

Two types of people, those who don't care about make up, and those who never leave the house without it!

So I guess you don't have to worry about your daughter spending her allowance on makeup!

Ha ha, oh dear what attitude already.
Good for you, actually I hope daughter hear you say that. It's an important lesson in self esteem.

@shaggin Oh dear, I am sure that you aren't ugly, but I do feel that -- we are our own worst enemies.
I am happy you answered daughter that way. It seems best.

Me too, i wear my clothes not to impress others but to be confident that even if i am over weight i still feel good. I put makeup on for me to feel refuel or energized to face my day.

I think if we wore things for others we wouldn’t feel good about ourselves. We would always be worrying if we looked good to others. I like the way I feel comfortable so don’t care if others don’t like how I look.
