Difference Between Grandparents Time
was brought up mostly by my Grandparents, and my childhood and into adulthood memories contain a different picture of life then, as it is today.Why the change and what the reasons?.My upbringing and childhood, formed the person I am today, following in their footsteps, carrying on their decent ways, and therefore passing them on again to my children and grandchildren.
I cannot remember at any time coming home from school and my grandmother was not there.
No latchkey kid syndrome for me.
Clothes:-A grandmother who knitted beautiful outfits for all the new babies who arrived into the family. Endless sweaters made from lambswool,.Outfits, dresses, made on an old tredmill of a sowing machine. Our grandparents' clothes were made in natural materials like wool and cotton. Sometimes their clothes were made at home or in the local dressmakers. They were expensive to buy or make.
Clothes were often passed down from older brothers or sisters or cousins. Often, their mammies fixed the holes and tears that playing and working made in trousers and skirts
Our clothes:- Now, clothes are made in factories. Often these factories are in China or India.
New man-made materials like polyester are used. They are cheaper and new clothes are bought much more often.
When clothes get too small they are often sent to a charity shop or to a Bring centre where they can be reused.
Cell Phones. Yes, people can live without a cell phone. In fact, many still do, as hard as that is to imagine. If you are concerned with safety while traveling, consider cell phone and keep it charged.Even a cell phone without a calling plan, but a charged battery, can call 100 in an emergency. While I do consider cell phones more of a utility these days,
Message:- They can communicate with others quicker with the Internet, while people had to communicate with friends in other cities by writing letters which was very slow and a little expensive before.
Physical exercise : A hard working grandad,
