[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the oldest and only daughter in my family. The brunt of household chores and taking care of the baby were dumped on me. My brothers ran free and played outside while I stayed inside and scrubbed floors, washed dishes, changed diapers, etc. Around 40 some years later, when our mother became unable to take care of herself, I'll let you guess who had to quit her job and take on the chore by herself.[/quote]

Cool story. You revived a year old thread for this?  Get a hobby. [/quote]

I did even better than that! I landed a high paying job after my mother finally died, I'm sure making more than you do! Finally, I don't have to look after any family members any longer. [/quote]

No words. Clearly you have issues. [/quote]

Yep, I sure do. I had the issues from very early in my life. You claim to have "no words," but apparently you find it difficult to contend with the fact that my life of indentured servitude finally came to an end. I'm sure you had a spectacular childhood, you probably weren't asked to lift a finger around your house. I'm very thankful that I managed to land a high paying job after Mom died, because taking care of her for years, UNPAID, left me in a very bad way, financially. That was almost 20 years ago and I'm doing very well now. I'm sure you don't want to hear that, though. It appears I'M not the one with issues.[/quote]
