What did you do before quilting?

I thank that in alot of ways, Feminism allowed me to make the choice and not feel like I was giving anything up. I was 21 when my DS Josh was born and 4 years later DD Amanda came along. We really grew up together and I played along with them. We did so many fun things together. My grown up kids all work and have a "career". My DDIL hasn't even considered staying home with soon2B DGC. So, I will do it all over again, but not full-time. It will be fun to read to a baby, color, finger-paint, swim etc all over again. A young Granny at 53. Linda in Tx Hi Linda. It's wonderful that you did have that choice, and you're right that feminism did help with that sort of thing. G I was sort of teasing in my comment. But I had to work, and that was fine with me since I've never been really comfortable with babies. I much prefer children when they're walking, talking and potty trained! LOL! We're all different. And BTW, I became a grandmother for the first time at 52, so I was young, too!
