Answer 2

It depends on the location and the status of the family. Some were kind and loving. Some were cold and distant. There is a wide range of possibilities. Briefly:

Generally, girls and young women were expected to act around the home as a helper for their mothers whatever their mother's role was. Working families such as tradesmen and farmers expected their daughters to take on responsibilities that kept them busy throughout the day cooking, cleaning, mending, caring for younger children, planting, caring for the garden, helping to make products for sale or barter, running errands, milking the cow, etc.

Ministers expected their daughters to engage in appropriate activities such as prayer, housekeeping, studying scriptural writings, mending, sewing, walking for exercise with a companion, etc. The life of an upper classes girl was passive as she engaged in needlework, reading (if permitted), letter writing, painting, visiting with other young women, and staying in the "women's sections" of the home. She might go out walking in the garden if accompanied.

It was up to the father to decide if his daughter would be educated. Some extremely enlightened fathers saw that their daughters were educated, most thought educating a girl was a waste of resources and resulted in women who would not know their proper place.

Girls were all treated as property regarding marriage. Every girl had the potential for bringing in a useful husband to join the family, either one who could help with the family business and/or bring wealth and property. In upper classes girls were viewed as capital to be used to increase the family fortunes and status.
