Daughter’s astonishing comment!

My youngest daughter (46 yrs old), has many strange 'memories' of things that happened in her childhood. None remembered by any of her siblings!!!!

Mainly in those who were born in the early to mid 80's. Unusual for such behaviour in those born before.

One of our daughters became involved with the most vile man, we absolutely couldn’t stand him, but she was absolutely resolute, she threw up her career for him, and she wouldn’t hear a word against him.
Fast forward, it’s all come to a very unpleasant end, and she says, you must have noticed he was awful, why on earth didn’t you warn me!

That did make me laugh. Does anyone still actually go to finishing schools? In my head they were generally for deb-type girls - perhaps the female equivalent of Tim Nice But Dim - whose only idea of a career was being married, being able to cook Cordon Bleu for dinner parties and do the flowers beautifully.

Not long ago my dd1 lamented the fact that she’d never learned to knit, and so was unable to help Gdd 5, who wanted to learn. Why hadn’t I taught her?
Er, she had no memory of getting so cross and frustrated that she couldn't master In, Over, Through, Off, in 10 minutes, that she threw needles and wool right across the room!

She never had any patience with anything fiddly. Sewing the regulation school cookery apron was another nightmare - I ended up doing most of it and was very naffed off to get only a C+ - ‘Neatness and accuracy are 2 skills which you must practice (sic)’!

They only remember what suits them ??

Thought they were built like that!!

All of them do.
