Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» The stereotype is dad as disciplinarian and mom as the one who does the comforting. In our family it was the opposite.. What about yours?
My father disciplined his sons - my older brothers. But he left it to my mother to oversee me because I think he felt he didn't know much about girls. And women. But then because he sold on the road he was not home so much and mostly I would say my brothers disciplined themselves. I always had a vague sense of discipline which helped me through many trials earlier in my life until I really could learn for myself how to really lead a disciplined life. I would say neither were comforters.
Of course you were sweetie and still are! Lucky me that you're a pal! Maybe some of you will rub off on me and i can be angelic too? Thank you for your reply Addb! :)
Neither one did neither one? Good gravy Ele that's sad. T'is a miracle you turned out OK. More than OK. I guess it was just your stubborn self that pulled you through what could have been a miserable life . I often reach to my childhood days in reverie/memory and smile at my recollections. They comfort me. What do you have to reach back to when comfort is what you need? Thank you for your reply! :)

I hear ya m'dear. Oh. Yesterday I checked out the Science Channel. 136 on our Spectrum list of channels. I stayed on it all day! It was a series about How the World Works. Infinitely mesmerizing. Way better than anything the bogus bonespur prez makes up 24/7 or is involved with. A nice respite from the delusional political tragicomedy we live daily. Thank you for your reply Ele! :)
I hope to he** that isn't true Zack. I can't stand the thought of the kind of life you must have endured when you were a kid if what you say is true. It hurts my heart. Children and animals deserve love and being valued and being protected from harm. If the protectors are the ones who harm then the child is on his own and sink or swim it's up to her or him. I feel very bad for you retroactively m'dear. I do. Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday to you.
Yet despite all of what you have experienced here you are. Participating. You could have curled up in a tight little ball and just vegetated but you didn't. I think there is a fighting spirit in all of us that keeps us going even when we'd rather just give up. Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday Zack.
