What is the sweetest thing you remember your mom doing for you?

We grew up with nothing. My mom earned but she tried to keep us afloat. A packet of chips and a canned soda was only visible at home when we had school trips because my mom didn't want us to feel left out when all the other kids ate.

Given how life was, my mom would bring home the food/snacks given to her at work during parties. She would give it to us because she felt bad we wouldn't be able to have them so she'd not consume it but bring it for us.

I loved reading everyone's comments about their parents.

There isn't really one sweet thing I can recall my mom doing for me. She did so many things for me, all the time. She bought me pretty much everything I wanted, she drove me everywhere I wanted to go, she came to all of my music recitals and dance, skating, and gymnastics competitions. She spent alot of time with me when I was younger.

@Jenny1234 That is a sweet story. There needs to be a green with envy emoji here

@fernie2 she was really great. She changed a lot though once I reached around 14. She became very controlling and started saying a lot of things to me that were not nice. I’m not sure what happened

@Jenny1234 Could have been Alzheimer's. The sweetest pf caregivers could change in a minute. Thank God my parents were normal.
