The Glass Castle

I a about 100 pages into the book as of this moment. I can't relate to the Walls children at all. I don't have an alcoholic father or a free-minded mother, so I can't imagine what their lives were like. I am happy that Jeannette is now living a good life in New York City now, but it's odd that her mom finds that being homeless is fine. I was surprised that Jeannette's parents allowed her to cook and use the stove at age 3. They clearly didn't have very good judgment as Jeannette got badly burned from cooking hot dogs. Also, I didn't think it was beneficial for her when her father broke her out of the hospital. I feel bad that the Walls children always had to deal with having no money and always on the run from tax/bill collecters, moving from town to town.
