I babysat for a lesbian couple that owned a cattle ranch. I admired those women to no end. They were butch as fuck and didn't give a shit about the world. I don't know where they got all the money but they built a paradise. I would have babysat for free but they paid $10/hr in 1988. They were really loving moms and they kept the sperm donors as regular visitors to the homestead and the kids. They would sit outside and eat beautiful meals in the New Mexico sun.
People were not nice to them. I was the only kid that would take the job.

Damn, that sounds like an amazing experience. Not gonna lie, I'm lowkey jealous lol. I'm glad you got the chance to meet them! And work for them.

It was amazing. I hadn't thought of them in years. I left home at 15. Two years after I worked for them. I just asked my mom about them. One of them died of lung cancer and the other is busy being a very old woman. Still on the ranch. She fosters abused dogs.
