[quote=Anonymous]Pp here. My dad grew up poor and no, his parents didn't even attempt to do they best that they could. I'd like to think that today, my father and his seven siblings would have been removed from their home and raised in foster care. It was that bad. His mom and dad were fair-to-middling, barely-functioning alcoholics. When my dad and his close in age older brother reached about age 12, their parents told them that if they wanted new clothes, they had to buy them themselves. Wouldn't even take them shopping. So, both boys did odd jobs in the neighborhood and scrimped to get a few new things. The boys (three) were given/offered admission at a private school far away from home (about an hour), but they had to provide own transportation. They walked and often hitchhiked. [/quote]
