Im a mum. I became a mum at 16 then again at 17. I lost my mum at 21yrs and had to rely on a very old mum for information who frightened the life out of my about the birthing process. As an Older mum now.in fact the grandmother of 8, I think it is my duty to help and advise my children and grandchildren whenever possible. Perhaps thats what is wrong with the youth of today. My children were brought up as I was brought up. That I should respect my elders at all times even if I didnt agree with them. Grandmothers can do a good job in helping to raise todays youngsters. When my grandchildren ring me to ask for help with homework its not oh I cant be bothererd but a little thrill goes down inside me to think my childrens childrens respect me enough to ask me to help with that very important question. If I dont know the answer I will go out of my way to find it. We were kids and because of the war had no one left to ask. Just our mum and Dad. Dads were at work and mums at home so it was mums that took the brunt . If I have 1 regret in my life it is that my mum did not live long enough to help me educate my children but as all my daughters are successful at what they do then I think mum must have been up there teaching me how to be a mum.regards mum you are doing a fine job
