# 3. Only her scalp got cleaned.
My stepmom decided that I was using too much shampoo, she would get a little medicine cup before my shower and pour the designated amount into it. It wasn't ever enough because I had hair down to my butt. I also wasn't allowed to use conditioner. Screw her.
#11. It's important to get 12 hours of sleep.
Females of the family must cook and clean on holidays while males watch tv. Must bus male's plates every night. No visiting friend's houses no friends over at our house all the way through high school. Hair cannot be cut at or above the shoulder. 7:00 pm bedtime. Not curfew. Bedtime. Through junior high. Strictly enforced. Needless to say, I rebelled strong and hard.
16. Shh.
Dad was a narcissist... The biggest rule in the house was not to make any noise around him. If he was home the whole house got quiet and tense. Even my mom used to eat her cereal in the bedroom because she'd get in trouble for chewing crunchy food. Now she's long rid of him and married to a way better guy, but she still apologizes for eating crackers.
