Their mothers had finally caught up to them and been proven right. There were consequences after all but they were the consequences to things you didn't even know you'd done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My father and mother had tremendous integrity, and obviously that affected me.
Mom was the greatest influence of my childhood. She wanted to save me from the vice, lust, and drinking that was all about me.
When I was a young boy, very young boy, mothers didn't work. Women were home, they took care of the house, they washed the dishes and took care of the children. That's what they did, and that's what my mother did.
Who knows what would have become of me, if my parents had not had their influence on me.
Mother had committed me for life. This is where I felt betrayed the most.
As my family saw them, men were untrustworthy, weak, and selfish. Our mother taught us to get along without them, to get along without much of anything, and to live well and have fun anyway.
I'm sure there were times when I wish I had thought, 'Gosh, that might really embarrass mom and dad,' but our parents didn't raise us to think about them. They're very selfless and they wanted us to have as normal of a college life as possible. So really, we didn't think of any repercussions.
My parents, especially my mother, were no influence on me whatsoever.
My mom used to get arrested for being with my dad. She would get fined. She would spend weekends in jail.
What kept me out of trouble is going right to the edge and then... thinking that my mother would be embarrassed, and that I didn't want to embarrass her, and that my father would be embarrassed, and I just didn't want to do that to my family.
