| gen. | bring children up single-handed | вырастить детей без посторонней помощи (She brought six of us up single handed back in the 1950’s, I’m the youngest. My mum got her priorities right -- roof over our heads, food in our bellies and clothes on our backs. No handouts, no food banks. She worked nights at the Royal Eye Hospital in Manchester as a night orderly, not as well paid as a nurse. She taught us the basics -- respect and good manners. ART Vancouver) |
