My Mom experienced her loss of inoncence when she was only nine years old. Her parents had just bought a flower shop causing them to have to work long hours from early in the morning before she woke up until nine at night.She had two sisters one who was older, and one younger then her. Her older sister generally left the house when she got back from school, so my Mom had to take care of herself and younger sister until her parents got back. She had to cook and watch out for her little sister, and she was only nine. As she got older it became much easier on her as she could take care of her sister, and go out and do her own things since her sister was old enough to be alone. My Mom learned many things from this like watching out for a kid, which made her have to grow up faster then maybe what she intended. Now, my Mom is able to balance her time through having a job, and being their for her kids all the time.
