I feel sorry for their children who miss out on their mother's facial expression.
I also feel sorry for other children who see them in the street for the first time.
Pretty scary,I think

I don't think they wear these things at home -- so the children won't miss their mother's expressions. It's just when they go out and might drive men mad with their lascivious charms that they have to blacken their teeth and wear shrouds (metaphorically speaking).

As Laura says, I think you'll find the burkha is only worn outdoors. :)
