I think this situation is what set me up to be so submissive.

I was raised in a rather strict... yet very loving home. The children were doted upon.. our mother cooked amazing meals... sewed.. tended our every need when she did not have to work outside of the home..

Our father worked very hard came home at the end of the day to a meal on the table and a clean home..

There were rules and we were expected to follow them.. if we didn't there were consequences.... I was too afraid of disapointing my parents to do anything bad ....although the punishments were never very harsh.

I think because of that I just got used to doing as I was told.. folowing the rules... cherishing the love... the discipline... etc....
