Neat!!!! Long time ago, as a young Mom, I sold Princess House. I loved being creative with my tables at shows, but didn't like lugging all those cases of crystal around!!! Are you a Customer of your Mom's ? Mary

My mother is 70. She retired about 7 years ago and moved to Florida 5 or 6 years ago. She does volunteer work at the library, goes to bible study and I think does some things for the church, plus she has an active social life - movies, plays mah jong (sp?), going out with friends, etc. She used to travel a little but her last few trips have been back to NY for Christmas & seeing her grandchildren (my sister's kids).

Re: Tell me about your Moms; Do they work, are they retired, hobbies, etc.

My mom is 64. She was let go 10 years ago & never went back to work. She helps her 89 year old mother out a lot. Grandma lives alone, but my mom takes her food shopping once a week & to DR apts when needed, and goes with my dad on the weekends when needed to help out fix/move things or run other errands.

That & taking care of her own house takes up most of her time.

She doesn't use the family computer, but wants to get her own laptop this year so she can shop online!

My mom is 56. She was a stay at home mom with me & my sister and hasn't worked since then (except she used to work for my dad's business on Fridays b/c they were super busy). My dad sold his business in 2000 so their hobbies are driving each other crazy (j/k Chat Icon). Her hobbies are: shopping, cooking, decorating and cleaning their house, and taking care of my grandparents



'driving each other crazy" I get concerned about that one!!! My DH is not retired yet, but I've had a taste when he's been unemployed, of what it's like having him in the house!!! Chat Icon He finds all this extra stuff that he wants me to do!!!Chat Icon I think we should buy another house with a shop behind, so he can make things. Tell me about "taking care of Grandparents". Does she have siblings that help? Mary

Hi, Christine!! My DH is 71. (Marrying an older Husband seems to run in our family). Sounds like your Mom has a busy life!!!! My DH wants to move to Sarasota, Fla. He'd probably golf all the time. Part of me wants to, part of me doesn't want to leave my kids/Grandson. And, another biggie, my Mom, in the nursing home!!! I can't leave her, not right now.Mary

Re: Tell me about your Moms; Do they work, are they retired, hobbies, etc.

My mom is 53 and is self-employed. She babysits at her house (mostly family and family friends). She watches a 6 year old (when there's no school), two five year olds, a 3 year old, a 1 year old, a 10 month old, and now recently a month old. The kids adore her...she is always surrounded by kids!

Her favorite hobby is scrapbooking...she goes to classes and makes some awesome family scrapbooks.

Re: Tell me about your Moms; Do they work, are they retired, hobbies, etc.

my mom is 64 retired for the past two years but my parents are pretty busy. Between trying to get as much traveling in they are now slowing down due to economic changes and some health issues. Most of their time now is doing local traveling (not out of the country), organizing their home (removing clutter, organizing the files, etc), they added a huge extension to the house so that made them start to evaluate all the clutter.
