Quote: was/is your mom a very strong individual? when i say strong i mean almost in a women's lib sort of way. not that she would have been part of the burning bra's era, but that she could do anything on her own, that she didn't need a man? when you look back on this, was your mom a typcial housewife (stay at home) or did she have a career or what?
you are talking to a latch key kid! I assume that at some point mom was home with us (I'm the youngest of three) but I don't remember it at all.
from what I remember mom always had her own life and we were just in it.
dad and mom did spend their time together playing cards and stuff going to functions or out with friends as well as each having their own time but dad had a little trouble staying away from the women and that is the crap that I refer to.
mom was strong yes, she had to be...she had no childhood...her dad split too leaving her and her mom with a newborn son (mom was 10 when uncle was born) so mom was a mom when she should have been a kid. she wanted me to be independant...suppose that's why she wasn't overly mothering cept for having awesome meals everynight of the week.
