My mom was a housekeeper ever since the family came to the States in 1955. In fact, she retired at age 78. In the meantime, she raised us five kids, plus two of the grandkids. My father also helped raised us changing diapers and cooking. I started working myself when I was 10 years old running errands for the seniors who lived in the building where my dad was the super. I walked dogs, took out garbage, swept and more.

I should point out that both my parents did forced labor as teenagers under the Nazis during WWII.
