Woman Makes Video Sharing "Things Your Mom Never Taught You" For Those That Didn't Have A Mother Figure To Teach Them

For those who didn't have a mother figure or anyone to teach them some life lessons, this post is for you.

Our moms are the people who teach us life lessons from the time we are born. They show us how to eat, how to clean, how to brush our teeth, and how to tie our shoes.

As we get older, we still rely on our mothers to show us various aspects of adulthood, such as how to separate laundry, tricks to remove stains from carpet, and how to sign up for our first credit card. Reflecting on everything that a mom does for us makes us think about those who don't have that figure in their lives.

What would we do without mothers? For starters, we wouldn't know all of the random life skills that mothers teach us.

This woman decided to take it upon herself to share a video on TikTok showcasing 16 things that your mom never taught you. The goal of this video was to present life tricks, advice, and tips that you may have never heard or been taught.

Her videos were a hit, and she decided to create more and more content sharing these amazing life tips and tricks for people. She became the TikTok mom that we all needed.

Here are 16 things that your mom never taught you.

1. The way to fold a towel to keep it clean and neat-looking

"Everyone has their own method of folding; this is my favorite way to fold towels. You are going to want to fold it in half, hamburger style, then fold it in half again. Next, fold it into thirds and flip."1. The way to fold a towel to keep it clean and neat-lookingeva_feeva

2. Laundry tips

"Your detergent bottle will tell you which line to fill to. Mine is the top line. Put in the detergent first, then load your clothes. Don't pack them too tightly; you want the clothes to be able to swish around. For this kind of load, a medium soil, warm water, and normal cycle is just fine."2. Laundry tipseva_feeva

"Vinegar is an inexpensive, versatile, and natural cleaning product. It is antibacterial and antifungal. Its acidity dissolves gunk and hard water buildup. It also eliminates fabric odors."3. Distilled water is besteva_feeva

5. How to make the perfect eggs

"I find it easiest to prep your eggs in a big bowl. It is best to use a whisk, but mine is broken, so today I'm using a fork. Next, it's great to add some milk or cream, which can keep your eggs a little softer. Then add a small slice of butter to a pan on medium-low. I like to use a flexible spatula to fold the eggs around. Let them sit for a minute, then fold them around again. Add salt, pepper, and some grated Colby cheese. Fold around again."5.

6. Face washing tips

"Make a little swimming pool with your hands to gently wet your skin. Try to match your cleanser to your skin type: normal, dry, oily, combination, or sensitive. Make your little swimming pool again to rinse and pat dry. Toner helps wipe away any leftover impurities and prep the skin for serum. Serums are highly concentrated with ingredients to give your skin whatever boost it needs. Don't forget your neck. Moisturize according to your skin type as well. Lastly, use a facial sunscreen. Sun damage takes 10-20 years to appear. Wear your sunscreen."6. Face washing tipseva_feeva

9. Airport advice and tips for flying

"Make sure your bags are packed according to airport rules. Many airlines have an app to check in ahead of time. Get familiar with your gate number and terminal. When you first arrive at the airport, get dropped off at your terminal. You can arrive with a friend, Uber, or airport parking shuttle. Now it is time to check your bag. You can check in curbside or inside the airport. If you don't have the app, here is where you can also check in and print a physical boarding pass. Keep your ID and boarding pass handy to be scanned at security. You might be asked to take off your shoes and place your carry-on on the conveyor belt. All other smaller personal items will go in a basket. Then you go through a metal detector or x-ray machine. Take a seat to regroup and gather your belongings. Phew! Take a deep breath if you need it. You're doing great! Now let's find our gate. Your gate might have a letter and a number. Follow the signs and don't be afraid to ask someone who works there for help. Keep following the signs and be aware of your surroundings. Check your gate screen to make sure you are at the right place and that the boarding time hasn't changed. There are seats at the gate to wait, or you can walk around. There are restaurants, coffee shops, and general stores. It's time to board! Go back to your gate. Your seat may be zoned into boarding groups. Wait until your boarding group is called. You're on the plane! Find your seat. Place your carry-on above your seat. Sit down, take a breath; you did it!"9. Airport advice and tips for flyingeva_feeva

13. Pumping your own gas can be intimidating, but here are some tips.

"Turn off your car and take the keys out. Open the gas door and unscrew the cap. First, put your card in, and they will ask for your PIN or zip code. You can also go pay inside if you have cash. Next, select your gas. The majority of cars need just unleaded. Insert it snugly, then flip up the tab to hold your handle in place. Wait for it to fill up. Put the gas pump back, screw the cap back on, and close the door."13. Pumping your own gas can be intimidating, but here are some tips.eva_feeva

15. A mattress protector is a must

"One of the most overlooked parts of bedding is your mattress protector. It provides a waterproof barrier between your fitted sheet and mattress. This protects your mattress from things that might slip through the fibers of your fitted sheet, such as sweat, spills, allergens, and dead skin cells."15. A mattress protector is a musteva_feeva

24. Tips on shaving your legs

"Shaving your legs is best started with a nice warm shower. Make sure to use a washcloth or body glove for light exfoliation. If you are comfortable, shaving is much easier done in the shower. But if this is new to you, it may be safer to hop out of the shower. Lather your legs well with shaving cream or hair conditioner; I prefer to use hair conditioner. A 4 or 5 blade razor is preferred. If your hair is very long or dense, it is better to start by going in the same direction that the hair grows (down). Every couple of strokes, rinse off your razor. Then, go against the growth of hair (up) for a super close shave. Use medium pressure. If your hair is already short and not too thick to begin with, you can start your shave going against the growth. Joints like knees can be tricky. Use light pressure and follow your skin carefully. Rinse off with warm water to get rid of any residue. Finish up by using a gentle lotion."24. Tips on shaving your legseva_feeva
