I dunno... my Grandma had to pump well water and boil it to wash clothes, prep meals for Grandpa and their 11 children (would have been 13, but one was stillborn and another died as a baby).
She was a tough old bird. Married at 16. First kid at 18. Last child at 44. Grandma didn't get a washing machine until 1970, if I recall. Had she not been there to take care of the kids and the farm, Grandpa couldn't have worked at an industrial bakery from 4 a.m. to noon. Then from noon to around 3, he'd come home and sleep, then take over work in the fields until dusk.
Grandpa sold his body in manual labor, but Grandma was right beside him.
It kind of disgusts me that a lot of modern women look down on someone like my Grandma, who built a happy home, a beautiful family, and fostered literally nothing but warm and special memories for all her kids and grandkids.
- dsohn0 6y agoPeople don't look down on your grandma they just recognize she had a hard and pretty shitty life and don't want be a ox that can speak English. Stop being such a incel loser jesus.
- cbozeman 6y agoEveryone had a hard and pretty shitty life in 1932. From the people living in New York City to the people living in rural Mississippi. > Stop being such a incel loser jesus. I'm not even sure how you got here, from what I posted... other than having to assume you have some significant psychological issues. Talk to someone, please. Your mental attitudes aren't healthy. I have had plenty of women in my life judge my Grandma, forgetting she was a teenager during The Great Depression, and forgetting that women of rural Mississippi had very little avenues of fulfillment beyond child rearing and household administration available to them. Or even worse, they think they could have done anything different... failing to recognize their fathers would have essentially married them off, and their husbands would have beaten them until they fell in line.

"It kind of disgusts me that a lot of modern women look down on someone like my Grandma, who built a happy home, a beautiful family, and fostered literally nothing but warm and special memories for all her kids and grandkids." When it's your grandma who cooked for you and made you happy its a happy home but even you can realize when its not your grandma its some sad dump getting her ass kicked by drunk hillbillies. No shit modern women look down on your stupid rose tinted nonsense. You can't seem to fathom that your grandma had a really shitty and garbage life from your own description no shit people do not want that life. Stop being such a incel loser.
