[If she’s a girl] Leave her alone with a man other than her father
Ya’ll heard what Iyanla said. But even before her I got this rule from my own mother. I remember once my sister and I decided to sit on one of my uncle’s laps. My mother looked at us and immediately called us over to her. “Don’t sit in your uncle’s lap.” She didn’t provide any further explanation, she didn’t make a scene. She just told us not to do it. As a little girl, I thought it was weird but as I got older I see why she did what she did. I’m sad life has to be like this, really I am. But I can’t even potentially risk my child’s safety and well being to appease an adult’s feelings.
