NANCY You expressed my feelings much better than I did, and it's great that your daughter is able to follow her husband's work in that way. I have seen some travel trailers that look very comfortable, just that I'm more like you, and need to feel that I have a "home". I have been lucky enough to do quite a bit of traveling, in this country and in Europe, but always glad to get home.
But what I really disagreed with was "The silly rules of societal pressure" and "We are all bound, most of us, by dumb silly peer pressure".
True enough that peer pressure can be a bad thing, but I think it's peer pressure - possibly in the form of parents, spouses or even the local cops - that helps to keep us from allowing our personal wishes to get out of hand. Chances are that many of us have had the desire to do something we know will cause trouble, and in some cases it's peer pressure that keeps us from doing it. "What will Mom think" or the neighbors, or the kids' teachers? That's what I was thinking of, and so I don't think that all peer pressure is a bad thing.
