I have not read the books but from the movie I can see what you mean. It was also very much a woman's story, me and my friend were riveted whilst the man in the room was bored into sleeping. I have also heard that like so many others the book is way better than the movie.Moyridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109060979165835871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209785482041222629.post-42794407218752570452011-09-06T21:39:31.613-05:002011-09-06T21:39:31.613-05:00My mom led a pretty independent life while I was g...My mom led a pretty independent life while I was growing up and I respected her for that. Some of my middle aged siblings still continue to complain about that aspect of their youth. I was the last of the 7 kids, so I think things were different for me too. I am glad my mom took the time to read books, sew, etc. and still does. My dad likes to criticize her for having hobbies, but I think he would be better off with some!<br /><br />As a kid, I remember playing with other kids, being imaginative, enjoying school, etc. which is totally normal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209785482041222629.post-15895345940816861342011-09-04T10:00:14.424-05:002011-09-04T10:00:14.424-05:00There was an article I read a while back that said...There was an article I read a while back that said parents should not be entertaining their kids every minute of the day.

That is the way we all grew up. In the summer I went out, came in at lunch, went out, came in at for dinner or when the lights came on outside. My students complain of getting bored and I tell them "only boring people stay bored, figure it out."Pseudohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10430783970802030846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209785482041222629.post-89649263380913816962011-09-02T21:41:50.680-05:002011-09-02T21:41:50.680-05:00Thanks on the blog paper.
