I'm sure there were plenty of loving, attentive mothers in the 'me generation,' but none of them lived at my house.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mother was a wonderful, wonderful woman with a lovely voice who hated housework, hated cooking even more and loved her children. She was always arranging church activities such as a bazaar.
I think many people in my community had very different kinds of mothers: they had mothers who acquiesced in the system of male and white-supremacist domination, and my mother never did. She just could not do it. It just wasn't in her.
I was raised by a single mother.
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.
I think I was raised by a really good mother.
My mother was very family-oriented. And I do love being with my children.
I felt there was a lot of love in my house. And my mom was, you know, the basis of all that.
But I still always felt the absence of a mother.
I grew up with all mothers, all women. I come from a long line of matriarchs, very strong women.
By the grace of God, my parents were fantastic. We were a very normal family, and we have had a very middle-class Indian upbringing. We were never made to realise who we were or that my father and mother were huge stars - it was a very normal house, and I'd like my daughter to have the same thing.
