I have to write a book taken place in the Victorian days for school. What are some lesser known facts about the Victorian days that could hep me write the book better? I have Victorian names picked out, and the facts can be about girls, boys, adults, anything really. One is a royalty. Did they have royalty in the Victorian days? I really don't know. Thanks :)
Answer
Justins right.
Clothing sometimes consisted what is now called Baby Doll Gothic
And Baby Doll Angel clothes.
Women used only corsets, yep no bras. A strip of linen that was disposed after two weeks was worn instead of underwear.
Baths were taken once a week and sometimes in small tubs or public washrooms.
When a woman entered a room, it was considered rude for a man to offer his seat to her because the cushion might still be warm.
People thought food digested better in the dark, so a dining room located in the basement was considered the best spot in which to eat.
A glance into a bedroom was considered improper if viewed by a visitor, so bedrooms were located on the second floor.
People were shy about having water closets, so they disguised fixtures as dressers and cabinets. Tubs were enclosed in wooden boxes that resembled large chests. People went to great lengths to hide toilets from view. In some homes, they were behind a curtain or screen, or even in a room of their own.
Children rarely saw their parents. A special trip was made to the nursery each evening, and the visit lasted about an hour.
Women made pictures, wreaths, and bouquets from their own hair or the hair of a family member to be framed and displayed in the parlor.
Some rocking chairs were designed to disguise a chamber pot. People had to be careful not to rock too quickly!
A lot of men used macassar oil to slick back their hair. Crocheted doilies, called antimacassars, were put over the backs of chairs to keep this grease from staining the furniture.
For a lady to show her ankles was considered very risque!
To control insects, many people kept a HEDGEHOG in the basement. It curled up and slept in the day, but roamed around the dark kitchen at night eating cockroaches and other insects.
Some ladies suffered with facial hair,or "Bad Hair Days" or hated darning.
We are happy to tell you that it is now illegal for a husband to strike or beat his wife. His right of "moderate correction" was first questioned in the time of Charles the Second, and is now indefensible. A wife has the right to the custody of her child up to seven years of age. The personal property of a wife passes to her husband absolutely on her marriage, but her real (i.e.freehold) property can only be alienated by him during her life with her consent
In Victorian times, darning stockings was a task ladies undertook - time consuming and laborious.

How will you educate your children?
Fabian Sch
What do you plan for your child? Do you have any plans? Will you let them do sports early? What about languages? What gender do you hope your child to be of? What will you do different if you get a boy / a girl? Have you learned from your own childhood and youth? What? Did you have any children yet and did you learn from this experience?
OK these are many questions, simply answer whatever gets into your mind, I consider this a brainstorming.
I'm still 14 years old so don't wonder whether I'm planning to have a child :P
Answer
To be honest I haven't really thought about it, having children isn't exactly top of my priorities list at the moment.
- Ideally I think I'd like two boys and a girl, with my son being the eldest.
- I will teach my children to be bilingual. My Grandmother is French but for some reason my father never taught me the language when I was younger, so I've had to learn it along the way (and still am) I'll make sure my children speak it as fluently as English. If I pick up any more languages before they arrive on the scene I'll teach them that as well.
- My family is quite musical and artistic (I started to play the piano when I was 2) so I'd like to introduce them to it at an early age just to see if they have an interest and/or talent for it and to develop it if they want to.
- I'll make sure that my children take to water like a fish. I grew up over-looking the sea from my bedroom window and spent countless hours in the water. Whether or not I raise my own children by the sea I'll at least make sure they know how to swim and can visit their local pool frequently.
- I'll gradually teach them to take hard work in their stride.
- Sports? I'd like them to be active and if they take an interest in a particular sport I'll encourage it but I'm not going to force them to participate. Just as long as they don't sit around all day I'll be content.
- I'll encourage a love of learning.
- I'll teach all of them to be able to hold themselves in a fight and to be independent. I was always "one of the guys" growing up and being able to rough it was a requirement. There was one child in our area who would fuss over every little thing from not getting his way, being denied a toy to cutting his knee and often stormed off with the phrase "I'm telling" he was not very popular and I wouldn't want my children to get the idea that they need to run to mummy and daddy for everything. I'd make sure they knew they could come to me, but to try and fend for themselves as well.
- As for school. I'm really not sure. I'm leaning towards a private school rather than a public one (if I can afford it) you learn more life lessons in a public school but I've also seen how it can destroy people and hold them back from their true potential. My cousin went completely off the rails in public school because of stress and peer pressure, my other cousin excelled in every way. I only attended public school for a few years but in the end I was home tutored as I was always moving around with my family, I did miss being with my peers. Being home tutored you can learn at your own pace and depth, you don't get the social benefits, but you do tend to have a richer depth of knowledge (so long as your serious in your studies) with public school you get the social benefits of interacting with peers and learning to grow emotionally, but you can only go as far in your studies as the school allows and the school allows a very narrow margin designed to fit the "average student" you're held back if you're above it and you're left to struggle if you're below it. Private school seems to be the middle ground.
The other option being a Grammar School.
- I'll encourage them to be extroverts.
- I'll teach them to be respectful, especially to elders.
