Same here. That America vanished.
In the area I grew up in, the women and boys helped their husbands and families with the field work. Once they they were old enough [around the first grade 5 years of age] the girls took care of the house, including cooking and the younger brothers and sisters. As the younger brothers aged, that included administering discipline when necessary. We were happy and survived.
Just Damn Mam, I am so very sorry to hear that.
You were too young to lose your Papa.
God bless you and God Bless your Mom.
I had a paper route at 11, and I was a babysitter at 12. BOY has the world changed.
Yep!!!
