She told me once that they were so poor when the family was very young, that they could not afford a cooker. She simply cooked her meals over the open fire in the sitting room and they took a warm brick wrapped in an old cloth, up to warm their beds.<br />You sound like a wonderful mum Carole, I'm sure your children feel very much loved.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300015184443856740.post-19835261169498114242010-06-17T20:27:26.744-07:002010-06-17T20:27:26.744-07:00Hi Carole, I am so glad you found me!

Carole, being a mother, you would not be normal if you did not worry about your young'uns. :)Gerry's Soap N Stuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17979941775893238131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300015184443856740.post-43416493001594166622010-06-17T17:19:04.731-07:002010-06-17T17:19:04.731-07:00As mothers it is our job to worry about our childr...As mothers it is our job to worry about our children lol. I have four, three girls and a boy, 29, 26, 23 and 14 yo. I think we do this our whole lives. My mother and father in their 70's still worry about me, so it never leaves us, I guess it gets easier as they get older and move on with their lives. I have been lucky with my children, they have found their life partners and are all happy so what more could I ask, their happiness is what is important. I worry the most about my 26 yo daughter as she is living a long way from home in Melbourne. She loves where she lives but I worry for her.<br /><br />I think we feel the cold more because we are not as active as our earlier generations. It was 14C here the other day, I kept busy all day and didn't feel it until I sat down to rest! Just my opinion though. I have a lovely warm log fire which is way more than a lot of people have. In our local paper yesterday there was an article about the shortage of blankets being donated to charity. There are people out there really struggling with no heating because they can't afford it with the rising costs of everything. They battle just to feed themselves. So sad....<br /><br />Have a great day,<br /><br />TaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300015184443856740.post-26729261826282477682010-06-17T13:34:39.160-07:002010-06-17T13:34:39.160-07:00The weather is cool and I think we are getting a l...The weather is cool and I think we are getting a little soft instead of rugging up we put on heating of some sort. Years ago it was add another jumper, jacket or whatever first. I am like you with my boys, we never argued in front of them and my DiL said one day after my Son and her had a fight that she has not known parents that don't fight or argue (like hers did). I told her that we did fight and argue but not in front of the kids or anyone else for that matter. I was from a broken home too and id not want my boys to grow up with only one parent or step parent. I do worry about them constantly what they are doing and how things are going in their lives.......I just want them to have happy lives (which they do) but I still worry about everything :0)Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593209985311215622noreply@blogger.com
