My childhood experience was
Different. Father worked long hours handling kingdom’s guest house with British guests, and managing king’s vast collection of jewelry. I only saw him once at dinner time, and he never inquired about my school grades. My mother watched my school work like a hawk. If my grades were not up to her expectations, she would take away all my perks, toys & play time. I hated her drill sergeant behavior. But looking back I owe her all my success in college and later in engineering field.
