[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 45728, member: 439"] We had an elderly aunt that had never married, but stayed home to take care of her widowed mother - then just lived by herself after her mother died. When the aunt died, I explained to my boys why she had never married - how "back then" in big families it was common for one of the girls to not marry and stay home to take care of the parents. I then told MY guys that neither of them should feel NOT feel required to do so - that at age 18, they can go on their merry way! And to not let the door hit them in the rear on their way out!!! Of course, NF has known since he was 12 that he wanted to be an air craft mechanic and wanted to join the service. When someone asked his younger brother if HE was like his older one - knowing what he wanted to do, HE said yeah, he was going to be one of those kids that at age 50 live in their parents' basement and play video games all day!!! I DON'T THINK SO!!!! [/QUOTE]
