Families are families. We've all got them, more or less, and we all know what it's like to be bullied by another generation.

Dad was a retired chemist who, in his 60s, fathered and fed me and my two sisters while Mum worked as a secretary. He made us curries, Chinese meals and strange concoctions. He was often unsuccessful.
