Holly’s famous words. Your too young though. You are old enough to help out.

Holly sounds exactly like my 8 year old (which is scary for me). It is hard to grow up and take on responsibility. I recall not liking it either. I remember when my mom stopped making me breakfast and lunch, and I had to fend for myself. All of a sudden, my meals got much smaller.

When my daughter was small and had done something exasperating, I’d tell her, “Someday, I hope you have a daughter just like you.” I can still remember her expression when she finally got it.

My kids had their problems, but were mostly good (and I gave them tasks from early on because their father made them so close together in spite of all I could do- until I insisted that we could not afford more than 4 and he let me have a ligation) He came to me the day after to say that I was no longer a woman and now he could have others- any wonder I later divorced him (as soon as I could support them on my own?
