After frantically dishing ideas for about 10 (Wendy) minutes, my group came up with family as our theme, such a touchy subject. (That's as emotinal as I get.)
-money
-car crashes
-family realtives
-political beliefs
-luxurious cars
-little brother
-house chores (mom's and dad's)
-sports
-home improvement projects (this one is big)
-college choice
-my career choice
-my sister's career choice
-diagreement on how money should be spent (dad-save and mom-enjoy a little more)
Finally, my group ,which consists of Ashley, Emily, and me, decided that I should write on how my mom wants me to be something I'm not.

Really interesting list. You grouped all of the things that deal with family pressure together. And the differences in your mom and dad are the opposite of how my parents act. It seems like a lot of kids feel pressure to be something they're not. I don't think my parents have ever pressured me to become anything because they knew I'd just do what I wanted anyways. I look forward to see how your paper turns out :)
This is such a great topic. I'm looking forward to your development of it.
hahaha, love the intro. Moms do tend to really want their daughters to fit a specific mold. They live vicariously
what does your mom want you to be?
I liked your list. I would definitely have some of the same things in my list. My mom & dad are the same about how money should be spent. Although, I think my dad should decide because he makes more of it, while my mom is lazy and mainly just spends it. That's interesting about how your Mom wants you to be something you aren't. I feel the same way though, my mom tries to pressure me into doing a lot of things I don't want too. She tries to live the life that she didn't do growing up. It should be interesting to read though!!
