My mom is 59, still works full time as a pediatrician at her own practice, slowly looking to sell her practice to another doc office at some point. She travels all over the world still (the past few years, Greece, China, Peru, etc). She loves to see movies with her friends and drink wine, she loves shopping, and taking weekend trips to nyc, li, la, etc. She's single (has been since I was 13), still grieves over the loss of my brother, and helps to raise my cousin (his mom passed away years ago) and loves my DD (her first grandchild). She's my hero

My mom is 63 and works full time for computer support. When she isn't working, she enjoys shopping, playing with tech/computer things and her grandchildren.

For vacations, she likes to travel. She'll go alone to visit me whereever I may be living, travel with a friend or travel with my dad if it doesn't involve flying as he is scared to fly.

Re: Tell me about your Moms; Do they work, are they retired, hobbies, etc.

My mom passed away in 2009 at 50 but my m-i-l is around 53 and is like a 2nd mom to me. She just went back to work FT after working PT most of her life. She is obsessed with working (activities at an assisted living home). She loves having her grandkids sleep over, shopping, traveling, and going out to dinner with f-i-l

My Mom is 64, works full time and is an OR nurse on a Cardiac-Thorasic team at a hospital on Long Island, she's been there forever.

She takes care of her parents who live down the street from her (both are 90). She likes to read, goes to the movies and out to dinner with her friends, and play with her grandsons (my sister's kids). She is taking lessons at the Apple store to use her MAC laptop she just bought and to get more computer/tech savy with all her new gadgets (ITouch, Nook, digital camera, etc.)

Re: Tell me about your Moms; Do they work, are they retired, hobbies, etc.

My mom is 53 and doesnt work. she hasnt since she got married and had kids.

My brother and I are out of the house now (im going on 32, brother is 27). Every week my mom drives from brooklyn to me in PA to watch my son for 2 nites a week. So monday late afternoon she is here and leaves early wed. afternoon. I work all day tuesday so she gets DS all day on tuesday and part of wed so I can run errands.

She is also my grandmother (her mom's ) sole caretaker which is becoming a job in itself.

Lot of issues my mom will have to deal with b/c shes been taking care of everyone else her whole life, and not herself.

My MIL is 61 and works as a receptionist in a nursing home.

both mothers are computer-phobic and have no desire to do anything with it.

My mother enjoys spending time with her grandson (the only grandson for both) and likes to read on the subject of psychology.

My mom would kill me if I ever posted her age on the internet . She's older than 30 , and she manages the space of a private company. She loves volunteering for her church--she teaches bible school at a nursing home and for kids, and she helps deliver for a food drive. She also looooves board games, coffee, and (apparently) buying stuff for her soon-to-be granddaughter. I like her a lot .

Re: Tell me about your Moms; Do they work, are they retired, hobbies, etc.

My mom would have been 75 .. but she died in 2005 when she contracted pneumonia after radiation treatment for lung cancer.

Before she died she was retired (she actually only worked for a very short time after college... she got married and stopped. She went back to work briefly in the late 70's/early 80's but that didn't last!). She said her career was household management! Before my father died she pretty much did everything with him. After he died in 2000 she spent her time shopping, going out to eat, gardening, bowling, hanging out with her family and friends, reading and playing games like Yahtzee and Uno.

Re: Tell me about your Moms; Do they work, are they retired, hobbies, etc.

My Mom is 61. Up until 13 years ago she worked, usually full time. 13 years ago she "retired" to watch my sister's daughter. 4 grandkids later (and one on the way) that is her full-time JOB (even thoug she doesn't get paid).
She loves to travel with my Dad and the whole family. She's an avid reader, takes great care of herself with diet and exercise and really loves to spend time with her friends and the rest of her crazy family (Us!)!!

Re: Tell me about your Moms; Do they work, are they retired, hobbies, etc.

My mom is 51 and a nurse manager at the VA in Northport. She is currently in with a man that treats her great (finally). She had a midlife crisis in a good way. After my wedding in March she started taking better care of herself, getting her nails done, hair done more, shopping for herself.
She also sometimes gives talks to women who are on public assistance or who are trying to get their lives back on track because that is what she did after a hard time after my dad ditched us.
My mom is an amazing person.
