ABSTRACT

When I had my kids we lived in streets that were real communities. Members of families used to live near each other, and had a lot of friends in the same streets too. We all used to know each other well, and our children would play together outside. My mum would look after my kids a lot, but the neighbours would help keep an eye on them too and we would do the same with theirs. It was like a big family. Everybody helped each other.
