[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 734442, member: 1550"] In suburban Chicago TV??? You bet! No farms or hard chores. Kids came home from school, did homework (except for me...lol...hated school) and talked on our old fashion phone's and watched TV and if there had been videogames, I am sure that would have been another pleasure. I liked to read and write and sing so I did a ton of that too. There were no farms at all. It was very much a white collar community where Dad brought home a lot of money and Mom did not work outside of the home. Men were doctor's, lawyers, CEOs and in finance. Blue collar work was looked down on. I was so anti the snobbery. My husband of almost 24 years is a car mechanic! I am a combination of loving blue collar relaxing values and a tad of lingering white collar stuff that won't let me go, such as being very anti spanking and anti smoking to the extreme and ultra sensitive to any racism. But I never judged people by their wealth...ever. Hated my childhood town. Ugh. Never wished to be back. i don' go back to visit and remember. [/QUOTE]
