When I was old enough to get to know my grandpa, he was really old and couldn't walk do anything besides sit in his chair. He was a really ornery old man. I hated going over to his house because it was so boring and he would always yell at me and my little brother. I think that's how I learned to perceive all elderly people, just the same way I saw my grandpa because he was the only elderly person I grew up around.]]> 2018-06-13 01:46:40 UTC https://padlet.com/u0895553/iykrzm081gkw/wish/266929162 u0895553 https://padlet.com/u0895553/iykrzm081gkw/wish/266929563 Yes! I grew up with my biological brother, and my two step brothers. My brothers always could stay out later than I could, especially when we got to the dating age. I always had an earlier curfew except if I was out with my brothers, and I always had to have the boy I was going out with meet my parents, whereas my brothers never had to. Chores were different too in my household. I have never mowed a lawn in my life because my step dad always said that was a "man's job" and my brothers could take care of it. My mom loved to mow the lawn but my step dad would cringe when she did it. ]]> 2018-06-13 01:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/u0895553/iykrzm081gkw/wish/266929563 u0895553 https://padlet.com/u0895553/iykrzm081gkw/wish/266930080 My mom LOVES to motivate with money. We never had allowance growing up, but every time we did something right, she would give us some money. Still to this day, if I do something that she is happy about, she will go put money in my bank account. If I come home for a holiday and my car is clean, she will give me $25. Every time we didn't want to do something, she would say "if you do it I'll give you $5. My mom is not a good gift giver and she hates giving gifts so her idea of a reward was always monetary. ]]> 2018-06-13 01:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/u0895553/iykrzm081gkw/wish/266930080 u0895553 https://padlet.com/u0895553/iykrzm081gkw/wish/266930294 My parents loved to ground us. If we ever broke any of the rules we were grounded for weeks or sometimes months at a time. There was a time in high school when I broke my curfew and I was grounded for 2 months. They would always take our phones away, and make us stay in our bedrooms except for if we were doing something as a family or it was time to eat. In high school if we were grounded, we had to come home for lunch instead of going with our friends.]]> 2018-06-13 01:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/u0895553/iykrzm081gkw/wish/266930294 u0895553 https://padlet.com/u0895553/iykrzm081gkw/wish/266930506 My family valued cooperation. There was many times growing up where my little brother and I would fight in the car and my mom would make us get out and walk home holding hands, and she would drive behind us the whole way. We also had to sit on the couch and hold hands if we were being mean to each other at home. My mom always stressed the importance of supporting each other and I grew up at the baseball fields watching my brother's games, and he spent time watching my soccer games. Every Saturday, my three brothers and I had to clean the garage. We HATED it, but we always made the best of it and I really like it helped me to learn how to work cooperatively in a team.]]> 2018-06-13 01:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/u0895553/iykrzm081gkw/wish/266930506
