I''m really enjoying reading this thread. My mother is wonderful, and fabulous, and I''m really excited to have a chance to post about her. My parents are both very giving and kind, but I''ll focus this post just on my mom. My mom and I are close, and we still hug and cuddle just like when I was a little kid. My mom has a master''s degree in finance, but gave up working so that she could be a SAHM. She didn''t trust me with a lot of people, and growing up it drove me wild. She wouldn''t let me play at most houses, but would let anyone come and play at ours. And I was never allowed to spend the night out. As an adult, it makes total sense to me now that my mom wouldn''t let me stay out. Its not that she didn''t want me to have fun, its that there are irresponsible parents out there, and she didn''t want to pass judgments on each parent and family specifically, so she banned them all. I also wasn''t supposed to date. But when I did, even though I wasn''t supposed to yet, I still knew that I could tell her. And I did, and she''d listen and talk to me about it. She''s also very sophisticated; and I think she passed at least a little bit of that along to me.
We do have our fair share of noisy spats (we''re both Leo''s, if that means anything
). Neither of us really hold grudges; problems happen in the moment, and they pass as soon as that moments over. I wish that I''d had something more profound to offer, but I guess the all I''ve got to say is that my mom is wonderful, and I''m so proud to be her daughter.
