When my younger sisters were born, I was in high school and college. I was at my mom's all the time but never changed them or fed them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My parents were in high school when I was born. My mom was 16, my dad was 17. They were kids, at the very beginning of coming into their own and finding themselves.
My mother was 45 when she had me, so when I was in high school my parents were the same age as my friends' grandparents.
My mother graduated from high school at 15 and went to work to support the family because the eldest son went to college.
When I was growing up, my mother only put her foot down once: She said, 'You are going to college.' And that was a lifesaving moment. But she never talked to me about my clothes or hair. So I learned how to parent my kids through her.
In my own family, my mother had my sister when I was 15 and for various reasons, I was extremely involved in raising her.
My sister and my brother, of whom I have not spoken before, were considerably older than I; it seemed almost as if we belonged to different generations.
When I was young, I grew up in a family of working-class people. Not just my parents, but my extended family, as well.
I don't have siblings, which is probably the biggest reason why my parents were able to give the attention to my career that they did.
My sister was always very motherly, babysitting and stuff.
A lot of people think I grew up with just my brother and me, but mom was there even when she wasn't. We had a good household.
