I think about my nan who had seven kids.
She had a husband who was a war veteran and was in a wheelchair and she looked after the kids and then she went overnight and cleaned offices, right?
She had to do that.
If you told that woman that having a hobby and getting a good night's sleep
and work-life balance was important, she would have spat in your face because that was not something that was possible.
I like that a lot.
