Parents and what they want! My parents said I had to go to college and become a teacher or a librarian. That is what decent girls do. They also wanted me to come back home to live, or find a place down the street from them. Fifty years later my mother is still harping at me becasue I did not do this. I did not do all of this. so I guess I am not a decent girl. At least, not in their eyes.
