Being an only didn't mean spoilt, although I didn't have it particularly hard. My parents were older than the norm when I was born almost 80 years ago. My dad was a manager in a mill, he worked his way up from being a clerk, and I don't think we were hard up, but he died when I was in my teens. That changed things.

Quote from: klondike on April 24, 2026, 11:34:01 PMI was an only child. Unusual back then.

Me too, yes unusual especially for a Catholic family  :grin:   I used to get pixxed off in later life when some people assumed an 'only child' was a spoilt child.  I certainly wasn't a spoilt child, my Dad was a brickie and every winter he'd be out of work due to the weather.  No idea how my Mum coped paying rent and feeding us, as there was little in the way of benefits.   Bring out the violins.....but it's true !  :grin:
