I really never had to censor the kids reading, I was just so happy they were reading and never really chose anything inappropriate. Now that the girls are older it's all vampires and Harlequin but they are always reading. Jayme is still reading for school and Kris plays more video games and watches more television but a mom can always hope that will change.

I wanted to be a secretary for as long as I could remember.

I worked in offices in various roles for 9 years before I had my older children.

My Mum let me read whatever I wanted to when I was growing up I don't think it even occured to her to her to impose limits.

I think most parents keep an eye on what their young children are reading.

When I was young I wanted to be a teacher or a hairdresser. I became a mother instead, and my two daughters became hairdressers.

I never went to college, and I went to two of my high school reunions. the 10th and the 15th. This June I will be out of school 53 years, I have no desire to attend anymore reunions.

I recall my mother censoring the books I read ~ she considered my age & the subject matter and what scenes they might contain. My mother's problem was that I read quite a bit and by age 12 finished anything remotely interesting to me in the YA section of our library. So my mom began picking out books from the adult section. She mostly chose mysteries such as Agatha Christie.. I think many mothers censor what their children read particularly considering if books are too "old" for their children.

Teaching is a fantastic career...I wanted to be a teacher & often wish I chose teaching.

Like you I don't go to my HS or college reunions. I have only been to one of my college reunions...the 5 year reunion...I was studying for my law boards & still in school made! Maybe some day I'll go again, when I'm old and gray!

In response to "booking through Thursday," I tend to be more liberal in my approach. I enjoyed reading books that others might not have condoned for me, and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to do so.

I always wanted to be a dancer and I don't have any rhythm, so it makes no sense!
