Why You Should Teach Your Daughter To Be Rude

Raising a child is never easy, but raising a daughter is even more difficult. And the reason for that is that parents want to both protect them and teach them to stand up for themselves. And standing up for oneself might be seen by others as being rude.

When a little girl is reprehended because she doesn’t smile to a stranger or because she talks too much or too loud what is being said behind the lines is that she will grow up to be a strong woman. And a strong woman is a threat.

Another thing suggested by a stranger expecting your daughter to smile or to look pretty or nice is that she should weaken her boundaries for the sake of being polite. But no one is entitled to ask that from your daughter.

In other words, your daughter doesn’t have to smile if she doesn’t feel like smiling. She is allowed to keep quiet if she feels like being silent or talk back if she is insulted. And if anyone, man or woman, feels offended, it’s their problem.

Your daughter owes nothing to nobody. Please, share this!
