My paternal grandmother, Harriet Frazier Daup, was the most influential person in my life. She was very creative and progressive. 1982. #family #families #grandparent #grandparents #grandmother #grandmothers #grandma #grandmas #nana #nanas #granny #grannies #1980s #modern #forwardthinking #progressive #classy #modern #hip #withit #garden #gardener #gardening #dog #dogs #canine #canines #pet #pets #furbaby #furbabies #homeinterior #homedecorating #twentiethcentury

Mom claims she has the 'key' to being a great mother-in-law, and it's way too accurate

I did not ask to be a #grandparent. I did not ask to be a #parent, three decades previous. The latter was wheedled & sighed & cajoled & persuaded out of me, so eventually i relented & went along, to get along [& didn't that all end up so splendidly, 13 years later...🙄🤦‍♀️]. The former was ofc not in any way within my control, & arrived as a fait accompli, then again, & again. The advent of the latter does not magically sweep away all my brokenness, & I simply can't find a way thru. It blew up again yesterday, hence a miserable day & night. What a mess. 👎😭
