2 children, Chantelle and Michelle

Lawyer

Upper middle class



Personality: Meticulous and goal oriented, i like things to be perfect, clean and in it's place. i am strict with myself as well as with my daughters. i want the the best for them and i expect both of them to grow into responsible and successful adults. i find it difficult to show my love to my daughters but i love them very much. i am the "vocal" one in the family, who likes to nag at the children and my husband. i consider myself to be successful in my career and i am stubborn at times but it is all for the greater good of the family. i am level headed most of the time and i feel that i am the one in the family who needs to be the strong one so that my daughters can look up to me and ask me for advice.



Relationship with family: My family, i would say, is comfortable and quite close. i am family oriented, and i am very particular about having dinner together and also, sharing about the day's events and this is a necessary for the family. i would like to think that i know what goes on in my daughter's lifes.



Relationship with husband: we do not argue much ans i understand him and he, me. we both want our daughters to do well and that is our ultimate goal. we have been comfortably married for over 20 years and i still love my husband as well as my children but the passion of our early years have gone. i meet him in university and after a dating period of about 3 years, we married, this is of course, after both our careers were established.



relationship with daughters: I admit, i am more partial to Chantelle as she is my first born, however, i love both my girls equally. i also admit that Chantelle have done a better job to meet my expectations for her and for that is am proud. i realise that michelle is at an age where she is perennially confused about life but i know that she can do it, with a little help. i think that i ahve done my best to provide for them and i believe that i have trained them to be good people in the future. i have done my best. Michelle has the tendency to dream alot, especially about being an artist, but i don't think that she will have a good life being an artist, so, i will need to keep an eye on Michelle more and steer her in the right direction.



history: i was born to successful parents who have taken good care of me and nurtured me to be the best. they were not very warm and loving and this is why maybe, i find it difficult to show my emotions and love to my daughters. being successful themselves, they had very high expectations of me, their only child and i strived hard to meet them, getting the good grades and going to established schools. i have a few close friends that include Jasmine, David's mother and having met her since university, we have kept in good touch ever since. i am not very outgoing so i find it a bit hard to make new friends but i am loyal. i can be charming when my job needs me to be- with clients. i met my husband, we got married and eventually had daughters, however i was not fond of children at that time. as the years went by, my career grew well and so did my family and i am confortable in my life right now.

goal in life: for my daughters to be successful and happy in their life. and also, to be able to retire comfortably.
