I so totally miss my drive-in-movie experience at the Pickwick Drive-In in Burbank. My mom would load my brother and I and often my two cousins in the car and off we'd go. I was around 6 when we first went, or that I can remember. Those were fun days. It was fun growing up in the 70s and 80s because we had fun things to do yet we still had television to entertain us. My mom would limit our watching time though and she used to threaten to put a lock on it when MTV took over the house. I miss the old, fun MTV shows when it was totally different than it is now.

As a kid, I loved going to the Santa Monica pier! Skip Disneyland, the pier was the best. Now I go and I think its just too crowded!

Though I live in a different part of the country, I did have very similar experiences growing up! Fun times!

I miss the innocence of children. My little grands are exposed to, told, and know way too much before they need to.

Bad mothers are bad mothers whether they work or not. Mothers can not care about their kids whether they work or not. Or ignore their kids, or slap them around, or dote on them, or become helicopter moms, or smother them, etc. etc. The point is that people shouldn't assume anything about people in general. Everyone is different; everyone has a different background; you can't lump people together and say someone doesn't care about their kids or isn't doing a good job just because they work. Some have to work, some want to work, some are good parents and some aren't.

No kidding .... Sherlock, and just because they don't get paid for their work or they don't work outside the home doesn't make them bad mothers either or that they are "afraid to work". Like I've said many times both working moms and stay at home moms should be respected. I don't know why that is so hard for you to understand or why it's hard for you to take your own advice..or do you even understand what that means ? lol I guess I'll explain it to you ...it means you are doing the exact same thing that you are accusing others of doing... or you are good at telling others things that you don't practice yourself..like lumping all stay at moms as persons who are "afraid of work" and assuming you know that to be true when you have no clue as to the many reasons that they are stay at home moms to begin with. Also learn how to handle others perspective and life experiences that are different from yours before jumping to your own conclusions that you accuse others of doing. You shouldn't get so offended because some think and do different from you!

Well, so much for the idyllic childhood memories and bemoaning the lack of respect seen today . . . back to the standard faceless name-calling. *sigh*

Ahhhh, the good ol' days when people had to use telegraphs, telephones and snail mail to disagree with one another. Smile
