I have two brothers and one sister.
They're all younger than me.
Yeah, I was the boss of the family.
As in, mum worked as a midwife, so she worked nights.
seven days on, seven days off.
And during the summer holidays, I would have minded my young brothers and sisters as well.
My very younger brother is 10 years younger than me.
So I would have, I remember, you know, mum would have sent me down to the shops at 12 when he was about two to get milk and bread, say, but I would have gone on an excursion, would have gotten the 75 bus and taken him to Nut Grove, even though I could have just gone down the lane.
So, and people were probably looking at me thinking, Jesus, is that her, is that her child?
So, yeah, so from a very young age, I took that role as older sister.
But I don't think that I upset them too much.
Like, we get on really well.
