What is one thing you wish your mother would have done for you when you were growing up?

I seriously can't choose just one thing!

• I wish she would have been more affectionate.

• I wish she was a positive influence on healthy eating habits. Seriously, she only gave us food she liked which was mostly fast food.

• I wish she cared enough to not let me become overweight.

• When I decided to lose that weight, I wish she took part in the effort to lead a healthier lifestyle.

• I wish she wouldn't eat herself to death.

• I wish she let me play/practice with makeup as a kid.

•I wish she would have tried to do my hair. I had two hair styles as a kid: ponytail and no ponytail. And when my hair got too tangled, instead of teaching me how to manage it, she would just have it cut into a really short bob.

•I wish she didn't make me wear boys clothes "because it fit my butt better."

• I wish she would have let me participate in sports like my older siblings.

• I wish she would have taught me about basic grooming habits at an early age. Especially skincare.

As the youngest of three kids, I feel like I was kind of just forgotten when it came to these things. Mose of all, I just wish she wasn't so damn lazy. And I wish she didn't instill that laziness in me.

She's still like this and it kills me.
