Answer a Question with a Question...

I didn't join until after that decision was made so it's hard to say. For now, I'm happy to have it mostly politics-free. If you're watching any of the US impeachment trial videos - even short snippets on the news - it's obvious how revved up and violent many became (and remain) over the election. I wouldn't want to cope with that kind of anger here, would you?
 

Don't you think the biggest question to be asked is,' How were they able to enter the building so easily'? (I think this is more about national security than politics)
 

I think it involves both, as many related questions do,
so do others agree with me that it's best to steer clear of the topic here?
 
No. My HS boyfriend's mother taught me. Her roots were Irish and all the women relatives were fabulous knitters. He and I broke up before I progressed beyond long scarves, but because of her encouragement in the needle arts I later learned to needlepoint and crochet, both of which were a better fit for me.

She was a big influence in a number of areas of my life. My BF was an only child (she nearly died delivering him) and I filled the daughter role for his parents during the 3 or so years he and I were off-and-on. I mourned the loss of relationship with them far more than with him.

Did you become very close to any of your early boyfriends' parents?
 
No, but that might have been my mothers fault...she didn't get on with anyone!
Did you always insist on meeting the people your children were dating?
 
Yes, but I already knew them anyway because they were local...and interestingly, my children were keen for me to meet them and gain my approval!
Both my sons have married girls who look very similar....does that happen often?
