    My mom is REALLY hoping that I have children and can’t accept that she’ll never be a grandmother. Best I can give her is animals

      I got lucky AF with my mother. She sat me down when I was 30, and very nicely explained to me how much she loved me and my brother. She said that she and I are more alike than anybody else in the family and that if she could go back in time and do things over she would not have had children. And then she told me the best advice I can give you Lee Is to not have children.

      Now I’d already decided in fourth grade, third period, History, Miss Lake’s class, May 1978 that I wasn’t having kids. But it was really really nice to hear it from my mother.
