Me: So, Mom, when you were a mother...
Mom: You know, I am a mother.
Me: Good point. Let me rephrase. When you were a mother and we were young -- like the ages of my girls now -- did you...
Mom: Did I feel like things were out of control? That you two were winning and I was losing? That everything was chaotic around me most of the time? Yes, I felt that way.
At that point, I no longer remembered what question I actually had been planning to ask her, but I think she pretty much answered it.
Well, that makes me feel better that things are that always were.
