Subject: Re: Assignment 5 Author: Lisa Kurts-Crume [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:53:26 07/07/10 Wed In reply to: Dr. magun-Jackson 's message, "Assignment 5" on 11:39:05 07/05/10 Mon My parents were married in 1953 when she was 18 and he was 17. After 18 years of marriage and four children, they divorced. Mom was a homemaker and Daddy was a fireman. I understand that they divorced because Mom was looking to be more than a mom and wife; she wanted to be independent. Dad still wanted a dependent wife he could take care of and be head of the home. Mom began challenging her generation's gender roles when she began attending the U of M in 1965, while she was with three children. Mom continued her education until she earned a master's teaching special education. She was a single parent raising three daughters. Dad remarried to a woman my sisters & I didn't like. She was whinny, manipulative, and needy. During the 1970s, Mom was a picket line leader in the teacher's strike while Dad crossed the firman's strike picket line. There was a lot of difference between mom and dad & through the years. Dad was very traditional and stereotypical. Mom was breaking the traditional roles and nothing about her is stereotypical.
