Your Interesting or Fond Mom Stories. - 03/14/24 04:26 PM
Plenty of wonderful memories and interesting stories about my mom aka "Betty Baby".
Incredible woman who raised 9 kids, 7 of them pretty .
For you younger folks back in the 50' & 60's we did not have automatic dishwashers, clothes washer & drying machines and there were no throw away diapers
So imagine having to do all of these things for 9 kids and two adults, dishes in the sink, no biggy, washing clothes in a tub and hang drying in the backyard on a clothes lines, worst of all cleaning cloth diapers that are loaded up with poop, that chit was hard work.
My dad was in the Army and gone over seas a lot, so our house was the hang out for all of our goofy friends.
My mom was a cool bird who liked to have fun but did not take any chit off anybody!
One of my older brother's friend Steve pushed it to far once with my mom. Mom and Steve were at the kitchen table talking about? when I walked up. I heard Steve say to my mom that she had never worked a day in her life.
She angrily told him that she worked harder than any man she had ever met, raising 9 kids by herself and putting up with their friends!
She then told Steve to get out of her house right now!
My mom once told me when I was in my early 20's that I should get rich quick so I could afford her the lavish life style she deserves to live in after raising us kids and putting up with our friends. I replied mom, you should have married a rich guy so we all could have lived lavishly, she smirked.
With the boys and a grandson, minus the two oldest brothers and 3 sisters.
