As a kid in the 50s I wanted to get married and have four kids. At 18, him 20 we got married. I was a stay at home Mom to three kids, I cleaned our home, grew a garden, canned food, froze food, sewed clothes, sewed doll clothes, made some quilts. I loved all that sort of stuff. I stayed home for 25 years, kids were 3-1/2 and 4 years a part. My husband started his own business, youngest ran away from home at almost 17 to do whatever she wanted. I went to work for my husband and learned to be a secretary. I started helping out with oldest Granddaughter. Good thing I didn't have four kids. I helped with her for 18 years, her Mom dropped her. She is very close to us. We just celebrated our 56th anniversary. I hated school and was never sorry I didn't get more education.
