It's the moms who sit around in their leather pants drinking tequila who should be worried about whether they're being good mothers or not. <br /><br />You're right though, when my friends' parents came to cheer their kids on and lend them moral support, I was always happy to see them and they were always nice to me and cheered for me too, but I did feel a bit like a loner who's parents NEVER took time out of their weekend to come for me. When I'd ski, I'd see my friends' parents, and they'd cheer for me, but I knew that I wasn't the reason they were there, they wanted me to do well but they wanted their daughter to do better. Nobody was there just for me, willing me with all their might to pass or keep up with that skier when my own will was faltering. <br /><br />I knew you were a very busy mother and woman and that sports were not at all a high priority on your lists.It made me sad that I put so much work and effort into sports like skiing, when it was painfully obvious that my family did not care about or value such an important part of my life. <br /><br />But you never sat around in your leather pants drinking tequila, you paid for my physicals and sports fees, bought me piles of polypropylene, got me home from practice when no one else would, and didn't rap my knuckles too hard when I ate half a pan of brownies before dinner. And you did come to one of my ski meets senior year, I believe it was at East or Bartlett. It made me very happy and feel very special.Kitchen Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02250319286068967077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6686074630529208216.post-70782468669144514842009-04-19T03:03:00.000-07:002009-04-19T03:03:00.000-07:00I don't think you qualify as a Rabenmutter.
