[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 443039, member: 3305"] I have a mom that I don't seem to be "good enough" for. I don't really know what to say to her regarding where I am in my life. She expects me to be so much further along. She raised me as a single mom, working full time and she also got her Bachelors degree along the way too. She is the President of a womans social group and feels I should be more outgoing, involved, degreed, job oriented, etc than I am. She actually told me that she couldn't understand how "I could raise a daughter with so little ambition". But here's the thing...I DID get what I wanted out of life. I told her in my teen years that all I wanted was a Family. In fact, I told her that I wanted 6 kids, lol...3 is definitely all I could handle. But the point is I wanted to be a wife and a mom...Not a career oriented woman of the world. My aunt tells me to tell her that I am a Success because I DID achieve what I wanted out of life. What do you think I should say to my mother? I don't want to hurt her for HER choices but I do want her to understand that mine are okay too...are GOOD ENOUGH, ya know. LMS [/QUOTE]
