This is why I appreciate how girly my MIL is. I hate it, especially since she wants me to be girly with her. But if my kid(s) end up in to glitter and gossip and martini jokes they'll have grandma to go to.

My daughter came out of my womb wearing lip stick and high heels. As a decidedly not girly girl who lived for volleyball and DND, this shocked me to the core. She's now 12, a highly committed 6 day a week ballerina who survives on a diet of glitter and lip gloss. It's fascinating and terrifying at the same time, but I love it.

Awww it's so cute how apparently we come out of the womb as individuals. You'd expect a blank slate but it's not really like that

Yea man definitely the best part about being a parent is getting to know your kid. I didn’t know about kids just having their own personalities from the start before I had one so finding that out was a surprise

Thank goodness for my sister. My wife couldn’t tell the right side of a lipstick tube but our precocious 4.5 year old loves to put on her kiddy make up. She calls up her “Aunty T” over FaceTime for makeup time. It is so cute.

I’m also so thankful to have grown up with my sister (we are actually step siblings since age 3 and are only 3 months apart). It really taught me a lot about the opposite sex and has made me a much more empathetic partner to my wife and father to a daughter.

Also...bonus was I was not surprised by the “shower wall hair” when my wife and I moved into a place together, haha.

Omg I didn’t know shower wall hair was something anyone else did. I feel so much better now.

I have really long hair. I make abstract art murals out of it and pretend I'm an artist.

But it stresses my SO out a lot so I throw the hair in the trash after.

Haha, my husband calls it my shower messages cause one time the way I had slapped it in the wall looked like it said “Hi...” lol

Occasionally I’ll try to freak him out with something but my shorter hair now doesn’t come out as much.

Such a weird thing to be wholesome but it is haha

lol it sounds very adorable to me.

And yah when I had short hair I didn't notice shedding at all. Now it's halfway down my back and I have a handful of hair every 2-3 days. I'm amazed I'm not bald. Like how does that much hair come out every shower and I still have hair on my head?

I've never thought about it as I (35m) have had long hair (half way down that back and VERY thick) since 16, my wife has long hair and my daughter has long hair (both shorter than mine and less thick and straighter). I thought it was normal. . . My son (short hair) probably will to. That said the amount of hair around our house is scary.

Haha you def aren’t alone in this. I don’t mind it too much but if you share a bathroom please try and remember to peel it off and throw it out after your shower.

Aww I love it. And my sister works for this too. My last birthday she bought me makeup products and taught me to use them lol. I guess me makeup game was severely lacking.

I wish I had a brother! It wasn't until I made guy friends in teen years that I realized you guys are just as squishy as us ladies are. (not a bad thing)
