Nancy, I can identify with this! My mom was a home ec. and science teacher while Dad was away in the war. When he came home, she quit teaching to be home with the family. So I learned to sew at 9 (officially - did little tasks for Mom before that). My jr. high home ec. teacher did not believe my proficiency level. So she insisted I get my mom there for a conference! I refused to take home ec. in high school.
