Maureen's named for your mom. Clara because it's pretty (and you thought it was unusual when you picked it). DH got to name David. Grainne was a surprise. You picked the name and you wanted something unusual and (obviously) irish-many of the other irish name names seem too trendy to you. Luckily, even with the Grainne surprise, you and DH still have a solid marriage. You would probably best be described as "culturally Catholic," but you would never let your relatives hear you say that, and the idea of divorce still makes you feel a little sick. He can be too focused on work, and you can be too focused on the kids, but since that rough patch you are really trying to make time for each other. You hope it will get easier as the kids get older. Maureen was such a sweet little girl, but now as a teen she's a handful. Catholic school didn't work out. She didn't care, because she wanted a school with art classes and boys, but it was awkward explaining it all to the family. |

The KT Oslin song "80s Ladies" fits you a tee. You grew up in the 50s, were a bit of a wild child in the 60s, got married in 1968 and had girls in 1969 and 1971. In 1970 you were pregnant but suffered a miscarriage. You were one of the first in your social group to get divorced in 1978 and suffered deep shame over it. In the 80s you really blossomed and decided you were tired of taking shit off of people. You went back to school and worked your way up at the company you started as a secretary at soon after your divorce. By the time you were 47 you were VP and bringing in nearly a quarter of a million dollars a year. You never remarried because you valued the independence you'd grown into and didn't need a man, but you became quite the fox as you got older and always had plenty of dates. Nancy and Susan grew up to be beautiful girls and married well. You now have 5 grandchildren between the two of them and they all have names like Avery and Quinn. Because you worked and your girls were latchkey kids, you can't help but think the grandkids are all a little too coddled and it pisses you off when they come to your house and can't even work the microwave. It's still hard for you to believe that you're now in your early 60s. |

Still waiting for Shaylon, Roland and Kyra's mom AND Jess/ Steph and Cierra's mom! I'm dying to know how accurate I was! I really focus in on the names and a picture and story emerges.
Jack/Max/Leo's mom has checked in...twice (of course...she keeps in touch with everyone!) and I did hear back from Linnea and Mary's mom ( but I want a few more details from her). There are are more...oh...big, I assume Catholic family with the one son I said pretends he is a priest... |

You grew up poor and somewhat neglected because your mother worked nights at a diner to support you and your two little brothers. You lived in a trailer park and in high school, learned to sew so you could make the kind of Laura Ashley dresses that your mother could not afford to buy you. You got a volleyball scholarship to a state school and desperately wanted to be a Kappa Delta but they did not offer you a bid so instead, you became a Kappa Kappa Gamma. You married a GDI you met in one of your classes because he made you laugh. As an adult, you went through a phase of wearing satiny halter taps with bejeweled necklines but stopped when you realized they projected the image of "I mighta been born just plain white trash but Fancy was my name!" Now, it's Boden all the way. You wince every time someone on DCUM derides McMansions because you live in one and didn't realize until you came to this board that that was something others mocked. You also didn't know that the pristine cream colored wall-to-wall carpeting was something others mocked either, because growing up in a linoleum-floored trailer, you dreamed of nothing but lush carpet between your toes when you got out of bed in the morning. Your husband won't pay to refinish the home in hardwoods though. You claim Lila was named after your mother, but this is a lie. Her name was Trish. |

The Great Depression was rough on the kids, but then they became the Greatest Generation, sweet! Rolla married young to get out of the house, sadly he was a drunk and a jerk. Coletta always wanted to be a movie star, but she married a cute boy from town. She always had a smile for everyone, but she was sad on the inside. Irl died on a beach at Normandy. Walter didn't serve because of his heart condition. Instead he focused on his studies and was the first in the family to go to college (at night) and became a successful engineer. Barbara and Grace were change of life babies and Irish twins. They were always best friends and married two brothers. Grandchildren were named after Coletta (Colette) and Grace. |
