[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s weird haha im a millennial so maybe it’s a generational thing.
Are you only doing it for your husband? Or is it a self care prep to be with adults kind of a thing? What if you have a crappy day do you still feel the need to do it?[/quote]

OP here I’m 32 so I don’t really think it’s generational. [b]If I was going out to run errands and not in a hurry or meeting with another adult I’d probably get ready in the same way. If I was feeling really sick I wouldn’t do it and there are of course times when I don’t have the time and I don’t give it any thought[/b]. The whole “freshening up” process probably takes 2 min so it’s not that involved. [/quote]

Old married lady (30 years) here and if the bold is truly the case, you're good to go, OP. Don't let your friends' attitudes make you second guess this as if you were playing a 50s housewife--you aren't, re: the bold above. Back in the Before Times pre-pandemic I would have done a little something before meeting friends or going to an appointment, maybe. Brushed the hair, maybe put on some lipstick, changed to some different clothes to feel fresher and mark the boundary between "I'm home and doing housework/working at home/whatever" and "I'm out here seeing the banker, volunteering at teen's school, seeing a friend I see maybe twice a year." And when there's no time or inclination --that's OK too.

You're fine.

But do see "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" first episode. You'll laugh so hard at her nighttime routine. [/quote]
