If you were to ask your mom to help you with getting a boy to like you and then you ask your aunt or your grandmother but after you ask them what the outcome was and your aunt was the only one who ended up being with that person, you would do what your aunt said instead of your mom and grandmother because their advice didn't work out in the long run and your aunts did.
