Yeah i had to get up at 4:30 every morning to get the milking and other chores done before catching the bus every once in awhile when i was dragging my butt i had time to run thru the back door sitting milk pail on table and run out the front door just as the bus came to a full stop in front of house.my father demanded that we be up chores done breakfast eaten bath taken and crapped before the buss ran and we were expected to be standing ready for the buss door to open and we step in. but mom and dad did their part too. breakfast was on the table clothes clean and in the drawers etc. was also taught as a yungin to have your bowel movement at home and not at work. neighbors kids were the same so it wasn't like we had it any better or worse than anyone else.
