I think it wasn't much fun. My Mom lived in a small house in the city, with 8 other siblings, and a drunken Father. Grandma went to work, so the oldest (of which she was one) were tasked with taking care of the younger ones.
My Dad bounced around from place to place with his Mom, brothers and sisters, but the story is very similar. He got into boxing, and doing odd jobs. Getting into the work force was top priority.
Not many photos of them as kids, I think there's one of my Mom and 2 of my Dad, I was told they couldn't afford a camera.

@alan20 Well, I'll say this, it was a completely different lifestyle than what I lived. I have an appreciation for the hardships, and don't take things for granted.
