Money was tight and Mum used to do two jobs to support us.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Financial hardships were rough on us, even though Mom had a good job at G.M.
My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.
Mum was always hard-working. She came over from Spain and bought her own council house.
I wasn't really aware that my father was working for quite a while. I thought it was my mother who had all the money!
My mom was a working woman. She made more money than my dad. Both my parents worked. And this was in the '60s.
But he like my mother, had certainly come to know that those who work the most do not make the most money. It was the fault of the rich, it seemed, but just how he did not know.
Mum was an absolutely determined woman. She was determined I would have a good education, and they went without all sorts of things to ensure it.
I come from a family of working women, my mum went to work two weeks after I was born - my parents had no money, there was no choice.
A mother's job... is very much to hold back the coming of manhood.
Being mum is a number one job. That takes priority.
