" I think my son and my
grandson have a lovely relationship. My father was a very strict man and
we obeyed him without question.
I had to walk six kilometers
to school. The discipline was always
very strict.
At home we didn't have a
television, but usually we had lots of fun. As for me, I spent most of my free
time playing football.
But we couldn't play football
on Sundays, because we had to go to the church.
I left school when I was
fourteen and worked in a grocery. That's where I my met my wife.
We were not allowed to bring girls home in those
days. We usually met in public places. I suppose
that's why people got married young."
пустоPatrick ‑ his son (49)
"When I was growing up,
my father was always at work.
Because my father left school
very early and regretted it
afterwards, he wanted me to do well
at school. I was a good
student and never played truants. Yes, we had a TV, but I could watch it only at the
weekend.
When I was eighteen I got a
place at university. My parents didn't
have an opportunity to support me financially, but I had some money as the
government gave me a grant.
I didn't go home very often. I preferred
spending time with my friends. In my last year of university, I met Natasha,
and we got a place together. We got
married very soon, just when she found
out she was pregnant."
пустоRonny ‑his grandson (20)
"I've always had a very
close relationship with my dad, we get on well.
At school, I
enjoyed a lot of freedom. My parents trusted me. I even took a gap year after leaving school.
I'm at college now and my
parents pay a huge fee for my
studies, so I work in the evenings to earn some pocket money.
I've a girlfried, but we're definitely not in a hurry to get married."
