No baking from my mother - that would have ruined her drinking (alcohol). I must have taught myself to bake because I did not ever see her do it. I baked a lot when my kids (3) were at home. Now that they are grown and gone, DH and I don't eat much sweets/breads.
So sad - mother is 87 years old and still drinks a lot. Went on a trip with my oldest DD this summer and brought her booze with her.
Neither my sister or I drink at all.
