The Glass Castle

I am still in the beginning of the book but, I can't relate to the Walls children at all.
My parents are not alcoholic and are the exact opposite of being free minded so I don't know how their lives had been. I couldn't imagine what it's like to have parents like that. I'm happy that now Jeannette has a good life in New York City.I can relate to this because I have lived in NY before. Although, it doesn't make sense that her mom sees as being homeless okay. This is when I saw her change in the story a little. I was surprised that Jeannette's parents allowed her to cook and do mature things at a very early age and I extremely disagree with this. They did not have very good judgment especially when Jeannette got burned by making cooking hot dogs. I felt bad that the Walls children always had to deal with problems such as having no money and always on the run from tax/bill collecters, while their parents where open minded about everything.
