My mother still, me for quite a while-- now I'm finding that life is a lot more pleasant when I see all that's good around me instead of the bad...
I can gripe as needed about AH's quacking without it disrupting my whole day... Hopefully someday I won't think about it at all...
Caring more for me and less for the rest of the world (that sounds kind of obnoxious but I think you all know what I mean?) makes life way more enjoyable...
My mother certainly taught my sister and I well though. We both chose H's who needed saving.
