“You will do as you’re told, and I won’t tolerate any more of your disobedience or backchat. You will go to bed when you are told, eat what you are told, and wear what you’re told.”
Mum also explained that from now on, I would be required to help her with chores around the house. I did these as soon as I got home from school. My tasks would usually include cleaning the kitchen (and doing the dishes), cleaning the bathroom, and washing the floors down.
Mealtimes themselves were something of a chore – Mum was a stickler for healthy eating and I was only ever allowed ‘junk food’ as a rare treat.
