44 year age gap between my Mum and I, and 47 for my Dad and I, it's actually his birthday today (and for once I remembered a card and a present, I usually forget the card!).
I had a pretty normal childhood tbh. My mom had 4 kids by the time she was 18 and 7 all together. I grew up fine. I feel like things happen for a reason and am extremely grateful for who I am today!
