When Enrenreich said, "Nobody wants to put kids back to work," I almost looked up from reading and looked around as if to say who the parent was, she hadn't actually met my mother nor any of her friends. I think my parents want more for me. They want and expect me to achieve more than them. For them, putting me to work was the first step towards achieving bigger goals. I remember my last month at home before starting college. My dad told me I would mow the lawn once before I left. It took me three hours to mow the front and back yards. It wasn't until I talked to my dad later that I learned that the mower had a lever that I could use to make cutting easier and faster. That is to say, without reporting myself, I pushed and pulled a self-propelled lawnmower for three hours that afternoon. My parents are not the ones, they cannot be the ones Enrenriech talks about. Part of how my parents were raised may have to do with how they raised me, but for now Enrenriech's article only works to strengthen my commitment to both my father and my mother for everything what they did for them.
