Could RobinetteDesign Be Beaver's Mom?
Could RobinetteDesign Be Beaver's Mom?
When I started to write this article I had decided that I wanted to be Mary Richards, played by Mary Tyler More. The beautiful, strong independent business woman who could turn the world on with her smile. But then I realized that that ship had sailed a long time ago.
Now, being a wife and mother, I realize that isn't the life for me. I thought back to high school and remembered once saying that I wanted to be June Cleaver. The perfect house wife and mother. Never a hair out of place, perfectly dressed and always wearing an apron to be ready to bake at a moments notice. She had so much energy, always had the perfect advice for her children and her husband always looked so darned happy. I didn't want to be a CEO or a successful lawyer. I wanted to be... perfect.
Well, I'm not. It made me wonder what fictional television mother I was more like. Rosanne Conner? Peggy Bundy? Claire Huxtable?
Nope. None of the above.
I keep trying to be the perfect house wife, at which I fail terribly. The perfect mother, which I do my very best. Perfect daughter, friend, sister. I can do my best to be June Cleaver but it will be my version of June Cleaver. A little of her and a little of me. But right now during these hard times, I will just have to settle for being me.

Anytime
Anytime. I love bring smiles to women's faces - does that sound creepy? Anyway, I was in love with MTM when she played Laura Petrie(?) on the Dick Van Dyke Show (I only saw it on rerun - I'm not that old!) Although I was not a big Beaver fan (now that is creepy) I did watch it from time to time and thought that June was a great mom. I was more of a Father Knows Best/My Three Sons guy. Ok I'm really creepin' myself out! See ya and Good Luck! ;)
At least once a day

I'm humbled
I'm humbled. Thank you.
Being a mom is great but so stressful. I am rolling pennies right now so I can go buy my son some milk. While I don't expect to win with all of these wonderful writers entering the contest, (you included!) the thought of earning some money elates me. Thanks again Free SEO Resources. :)
