The timer marked 5 minutes until the game was over and I dreaded getting into my dad's car because I was sure he had seen everything.

    When I first learned of this assignment my first thought was to interview my mom. She is the one person in my life I am closest to. Since we are only twenty three years apart, I thought it would be best to focus on her life up to the point where she decided to have kids. Though I knew most of what she told me it was still nice to just sit and talk about her life experiences. My mother was born to older parents and was the youngest of three children.…

On the other hand there are other mothers who do not have a choice to being a stay at home mom, and they have to work to support their family.

    As a child, having rules to follow wasn’t unheard of with my family. There was always a way to behavior with friends/family, at school, at home and out in the street.
