My Two Mothers.

They are my mom and mother-in-law. The photo was taken 18 years ago when my mom was on vacation. Two women almost of the same background were born into average families. Both women married and got pregnant at almost the same age of nineteen. One woman cared for her kids as a stay-at-home mom while the husband's family cared for their family's financial needs. One took care of the financial needs of the family while the husband stayed with the kids by working abroad. They are the same, but they are different. They are my mothers.

You are fortunate that your mothers get along, my mother disliked my mother-in-law, and it gave us tension and they never gathered together.

They do not see each other often so that is good. I'm sure they might have differences but I think they are old enough to be mature about it

@allknowing I was not around for a few hours. Last night before I retire to bed, I was expecting a surge of traffic here but none so I just sleep

Are they best friends... if they do, you and your husband look like a kdrama love story. That's so cool.

@rakski I thought they are. I thought you are telling their stories growing up together until they finally had a family of their own... sorry I misunderstood... blame it to kdrama addiction. Lol!
