Re: When people come over…
did it depend on who it was?
if it was only male, we werent expected to hang around while the adults chatted and dad would generally take them into the lounge. We hardly had any cases like that and hardly any cases where kids werent involved (come to think of it).
Sometimes parents had parenty things to discuss, so we would be “hined” to go do our own thing… but come out every 5 or so minutes or be on standby in our rooms to attend to guestly matters
