Good ones and relatable!!!! I am glad I grew up with the MOM's then, no regrets and I have wonderful happy memories of childhood and my teen yrs.

@spiderw Welcome!🥰 My dear mother could be a "tyrant" of sorts, but I am forever grateful for the expectations she had of us; no exceptions! She said what she meant, and she meant what she said; PERIOD!😁

THANK you SO much for caring to share!🤗

Yeah...I remember that. BUT, there is one glitch...My mother enforced it with a leather whip BEFORE I had a chance to "break the rule".

I have never heard of "use your words" but I'm guessing it's probably different than when I use my words LOL

@Desertdi Welcome!🥰 I was saddened to read this because I can relate!😔 My dear mother once bragged about how she gave us a "whippin" for FUTURE thngs we might think of doing!🫤 In spite of it all, she raised "good" kids as she LOVED❤️ to proudly point out, and all who knew her😊I reminisce now with great affection for some things, and wholeheartedly regret others!

I was a precocious child and I think that factored in to some degree.😊

@SandySparkles

I appreciate your reply. Honestly, I thought "I was the only one"...and couldn't wait to get out of that house.

Eventually, I accepted a job transfer, and she disinherited me because unmarried ladies MUST stay at home with their mother. (I hit the road anyway.) di

@Desertdi Welcome back!🥰 Good for you!😁 I have had the pleasure of interacting with, or observing you here on a myriad of subjects, but the one thing that ALWAYS stands out to me is your resilience in the face of MUCH adversity!❤️ I have a much clearer picture now, and want you to know I think you are AWESOME!😊

THANK you SO much for caring to share!🤗

Another funny one @SandySparkles!

I never had to worry about the language because I never heard my parents swear or use slang. We knew what was expected of us!

My mom was something. If I was crying or upset I was comforted.

But my dad - we heard a lot of things about "the starving children in Africa." I had no idea what that really meant, but when I grew up I found out.

My dad spanked me once. I don't remember what for. It didn't hurt, but my tears were because of the indignity of it.

I, too, could pretty much go where I wanted, as long as I was home before dark!

We played outside until we were called in and a bag lunch or paid hot Lunch at school. After school a quarter bought me a coke and a bag of chips lol😂
