    I wished I would have asked my mom about careers and the best way to chose one. I feel I went into the world kinda clueless. She always said she didn't care which career I chose, she just wanted me to be happy which made me feel good but didn't help me choose!

      Thank you Jennifer for the comments. Having a career in which you are happy is definitely important but I understand what you are saying. You wanted a direction! (smiles). 🙂

    My mother couldnt ask her mom many questions…would you believe when she got her period her mother told her now you have to walk on the other side of the street because the boys may sprinkle some sort of dust on her. Talk about scaring the heck out of someone….my grandmother was uneducated, don't think she made a 5th grade so I think you know people knew more than this 5th grader. My mom learned things from her older sister.
    My relationship wasn't the greatest with mom until I got older and she was there for me when I needed to get away from my ex husband who was abusive…but one thing we did talk about everything growing up….sometimes her opinion of certain things was a bit too much to the point of it clouding my view of things and not doing them because of me thinking I should be the same way…nevertheless less we talked about anything. She passed away in 2000 and now that I remarried I regret that she is not around to talk about family history, recipes etc. I have a great relationship with my kids and talk to them about the difficult questions that kids can only wish they could talk to their parents and hopefully will be there for them
    For a long time. My oldest 23 year old daughter is autistic and I also have a 21 year old son so you can imagine the questions he asked me and my 11 year old daughter just gave me a compliment saying I taught her well because unfortunately she was misinformed about sex for example so we had to discuss it at an early age so now says she know about sweet talking guys for the future…she says yuck, I'd rather adopt than do that…by the way they had a sex education class so for now she thinks sex is disgusting …like I said, for now…lol

    Hopefully my kids will grow up not regretting anything because they know they know they can ask me Anything

      Lisa, thank you for sharing such a warm comment to the question. I can see that your kids are definitely grateful for you being in their lives. I had to laugh at the sex education class part (smiles). 🙂
