Well my mom worked 3 jobs and went to college at the same time when i was young. One of those jobs was striping at a club. She went through many b/f's that never worked out in the end. One of which got her to move to the big island (hawaii) where she found her dream home/property. He was an alcoholic and so she ended up breaking it off and just being friends. Not to long after that i was old enough to leave so soon as i was 18 i left because at the time i despised her. Moved in with my dad and she has lived on the big island in her shack ever since. She has 13 cats but they live outside and are mostly feral but mom feeds them (on a 1.3 acre property) she had a bird that recently passed away and 3 dogs. Now she also has some baby chicks she is raising. She recently had a b/f but they wanted different things so now they are just friends. My mom mainly works her but off working and works at home to care for animals and her gardens (she's a horticulturist)
Seems no matter how hard I tried to be different from my mother I seem to be a lot like her. She had me at 32 my current age. But thats one big difference she wanted a child and got me i dont want to have a kid.
