My Dad was a farm labourer for the majority of his working life. Wages included housing and utilities. Lived in an old farmhouse built in the 40’s .... remarkably well constructed. Moved to a small town from the farm when I was 12. Finished off his working life as a jack of all trades at a John Deere dealership.
My Mom was a stay at home Mom. Did a little bit of housecleaning here and there
From a Grade 8 until Grade 11 the three of us did some evening janitorial work a couple of evenings a week. Once I got my own part time job, we stopped that.
