In case you hadnt noticed times have moved on since the wireless days we now have technology! Your mother and gran would have used the washer providing one was available to them. I dont shop online all the time we do drive there you know but seeing as i work 5 evenings a week plus all day Saturday and i am 6 1/2 months pregnant and i have 2 other children and a house to look after and my hubby works 5 sometimes 6 days a week as a mastic asphalter the only time we have to do the shopping is Sunday and this particular sunday i had other things i had to do so the online was the easiest option for me, The problem was not that he had to leave the xbox and go buy a pint of milk it was that it was 9.30pm and the children were in bed and he had to get them out of bed to go the shop!
Im surprised your mother/Gran had a big family with all the chores they had to do how did they find time for a bit of pleasure? maybe they should have saved the money they didnt make in the mill and bought a telly eh!!
Who was looking after this so called large family if pops was down the mines and ma was working full time in the mill!! pooop!
I cartainly dont see how you can pass judgement on my husband the way you have when you havent got a clue it might pay to keep your opinions to yourself when it comes to something you dont have a clue about!
I suppose i should have my child at work and sling it on my back and carry on working like they used to in the paddy fields eh you never heard them complaining did ya!
