A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little.
In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.
We were never allowed to eat Nutella when we were children. My father warned against the high sugar/fat content. When I moved away from home, I bought it occasionally, but haven't really given it to my children either. I guess my upbringing has influenced me! (Don't get me wrong, I love chocolate, but only dark one).
Her father was a pharmacist and did not believe women should work outside the home. She did it anyway and attended the first medical college for women - Pennsylvania Medical College for Women(founded in 1850). I believe she attended in the early 1930's. She was every bit a lady inspite of her position - very calm and caring, seemingly not a rebel at all. Medicine was her love, her calling.
How couragous! My grandmother wasn't a doctor, but technician in a medical lab for tropical diseases in Hamburg. Maybe they would have been kindred spirits.

My grandmother always ate dark chocolate; she was a medical doctor. She said it was better for the blood sugars.
Your grandmother must have been very advanced for her times! My grandmother was not a doctor, but also ate only dark chocolate.
