Being sick as a kid in the 80's be like

The woman was truly a saint 🥹

That's how it was done !! (LOL she's smoking a Marlboro!)

Not me, I was packed off to school unless I was hemorrhaging and about to have a massive neural shutdown. My mum's answer if ever my boys were ill was always "give him a drop of sherry he'll be grand"

My mum was a nurse.

We had to be GENUINELY sick to get to stay home.
She could suss out any fake sickie 😣

...and even if you were genuinely sick, her empathy-o-meter was set so high due to her job you had to make ur own chicken noodle soup 😩

And homemade remedies
