I'm "the mother" now, too. I remember a few years ago when my two children planned and executed an "intervention" when they thought I needed it. It was touching because they were so obviously concerned about me - and because they were taking on the "parent" role. Oh Beth - I know EXACTLY what you mean. I’m “the mother” now, too.

I, too knew more than my Mom at one time..about everything...we lost her in 82 at the tender age of 51. This post brought back so many funny and loving memories ! My children are now assuming that "adult" role...what a life ! Amusing, isn't it :-) Beth, this is one of the nicest posts I’ve ever read…what a great tribute to your Mom.

When my father died at 87 three years ago, that's when I became the Dad. I understand. I never really wanted to be the grown-up, and now I have grand children. It's a sobering experience. I have no more excuses. Michael Beth,
Nice post. When my father died at 87 three years ago, that’s when I became the Dad. I understand. I never really wanted to be the grown-up, and now I have grand children. It’s a sobering experience. I have no more excuses.

And I'm certain that your mother is enjoying watching you "grow up" a little bit more. Your mom is one smart cookie, I bet she saw this coming!
