[quote=Anonymous]My mother was/is this way. She parented me and my sister and loves us now, loved us then. We are in our 50s. She even loves her grandchildren. But. she is not a person who "loves" children, doesn't speak to them in public, isn't going to chat up a child in a store/restaurant/Starbucks and while she enjoyed us, she will tell you she didn't enjoy "being a mother". And we are wonderful, stable, adults who feel and felt loved by both parents. she did all the right things, and loved us - that she didn't want to have a brood, didn't view herself as "the mother to all" etc - no biggie! She even was a girl scout leader for 4-6 graders for years (like 10 or 12) and was fabulous, those girls LOVED her. Believe me, OP, you are doing great![/quote]
