i'd travel back to around 1948 when my mom was around 5...i'd give my grandmother a gift (a piece of my mind) while my mom took care of her younger sister and older brother doing all the cleaning and even feeding her siblings grandma was drinking, smoking and playing cards in the unit above them....although i must say it groomed my mother to be be the best mom her 2 boys could ever hope for

@beermeplease her siblings were blessed to have her care for them, that’s for sure. Not all children have that in a family.

@cherokeepatti this was just after the war in austria. both her siblings were half siblings. yet her father still lived in that tiny apartment, her mother and her father never spoke. my mom had to grow up with seeing that..her father wasn't home all that much as supposedly he was back and forth to russia because he was supposedly a commie....there's a reason my mother suffered depression later in life
