Title Staying at home.
 
Description I didn’t get married as long as me father was alive, because I couldn’t leave mother. She couldn’t manage him, and he was an old man, and he was a big heavy man, and she couldn’t manage him on her own. Y'know, she couldn’t be left with him, so I stayed on then, and I suppose if he was alive yet, I’d still be there. Then, then me brother got married, and then there was no room for me and I left home. Well, there wasn’t room for us all. Two families in one house doesn’t do.
