[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom was a PhD college professor.  We had a dog and two cats at the time we adopted my dc as a ten month old.  My mom VERY SERIOUSLY told me that dogs were OK around babies, but that cats might get in the crib and kill the baby.  She also could not figure out how adoptive moms learned how to be moms.  Apparently without the hormonal trip of pregnancy, it is impossible to wipe poopy bottoms and deal with temper tantrums.

She was a pioneer in womens'studies, but often addresses letters to me using my husband's last name even though I don't use it.

I'm reading this entire thread. My mom believes that about babies as well. Some people say the cat will lie on the baby's face and suffocate them, but she believed the cat would attach the soft spot on the head.

But mom did not care for cats. She was a dog person, dad was a cat person. My dad would say the cats on the farm were helping him in his shot. My mom thought they were baby killers.

I detested her pronunciations. Specifically:
"goom" for gum, as in what your teeth grow out of. I'm not sure why she so often referred to her gooms though. 
and dash-hound for dachshund. She loved her dash hounds and had a long series of them and they adored her.

I do remember when they were moving and my mom came out of her bedroom with this long hunk of dark brown hair. It was my grandma's, when she traded her old fashioned hairstyle (braids on the top of her head, she was a farm woman) for shorter hair in her 40s. By then grandma had been dead for 15 years. That hair was 60+ years old. Mom said "do you think I've held onto Mom's hair long enough?".[/quote]
