Growing up, did your parents take you to visit your uncles, aunts and grandparents regularly?

If so, did you enjoy those visits and try to get out of them? If not, did you parents take you on outings (the zoo, beach etc).

I guess so. I can’t really recall any of the visits but apparently, my parents (when my dad was alive) brought me to my grandparents and their siblings all the time because there are photos to prove it. My dad took a lot of pictures when he was alive, especially of me, documenting my growth and all the special days we spent together. It took me about a week to scan those photos into the computer back during my Christmas break of 2021.

 What kind of holidays did you have with your parents?

Holidays? Ah, you mean vacation? No, I can’t recall we ever went anywhere special or trips. I can only recall going to the local amusement parks where I rode the Mary-Go-Around and other rides. I don’t remember much about those trips other than the photos my dad took as proof.

Did you have pets of your own, or just a family pet?

No, we didn’t have pets. Far as I know, my dad was a clean freak, even more than my mom. So I highly doubt he would’ve let an animal into his spotless apartment. Besides, I don’t think it was usual for anyone to have pets back in those days.
