In reply to the discussion: My mother didn't have Ann Romney's privileges. But her story is better. [View all]Faygo Kid
(21,477 posts)15. Thank you. But get ANGRY about Romney!
Mom was gracious. I am not. Get ANGRY about Mitt Romney's demeaning comments about women and the "dignity of work" for those women not born of privilege, like all those he knows. I grew up with Gov. George Romney and his wife, Lenore. George Romney was a fighter for civil rights and against the war in Vietnam; Lenore was a passionate supporter of the ERA.
Mitt is fraudulent, and could even be worse than his fellow child of privilege, W. We are in grave danger. That's why I posted this, for all the Moms trying to make it today.

OP
Your right your mom is better because she had to do it all by herself. Great lady for sure.

I know that color--my dad had one of the later "clunkers" of that exact sand color!

Yes indeed. The Civil War produced a huge number of single moms, as well, as did WW1.

Wow, what a life! She was made of great stuff and she was acknowledged by Eleanor Roosevelt.
