Rose Quote #116
Quote from Rose in Second Motherhood
Rose: Blanche, honey, calm down. Let's talk it out. You'll feel better.
Blanche: Oh, there's nothing to talk about. I already know what both of you are gonna say. Dorothy will say he's too good to give up over something like this and she'd marry him. And you'll say he's been nothing but trouble from the start and you wouldn't marry him.

Rose: Oh, I'd love to be a mother again.
Dorothy: Scrubbing socks, picking up toys?
Rose: Tucking in beds, packing healthy lunches.
Dorothy: Phone calls, pajama parties?
Rose: Dance recitals, baseball games.
Dorothy: Cooking?
Rose: Singing.
Dorothy: Worrying?
Rose: Praying.

Quote from Dorothy
Blanche: Well, I just hate myself for feeling this way, but I don't want to be a mother again. I mean, it was a wonderful experience at the time, but I always thought this part of my life was supposed to be for me.
Dorothy: Honey, I understand exactly how you feel. I feel the same way. You know, at our age we should be grandmothers, not mothers. Once a week, the grandchildren come over for a visit. You cook them dinner, they spill it on the furniture. They hide under your bed. You hurt yourself looking for them. They ask you what those spots on your hands are. They tell you they love you and then just before total exhaustion sets in, they go home and become their mother's problems.
Quote from Dorothy
