A: Not really. Because she was kind of a very efficient type, busy type person so she wasn’t a traditional farmer’s wife. She didn’t really, was involved as perhaps some farmer’s wives. She was more, she liked to be busy, and she had to be involved with people. She liked to be active in the community and my family also I should mention were practising Christians so life kind of revolved around Church activities I would say for us growing up. So it was kind of farm and church.
Commentary: The interviewee mentions that her mother worked and I probed further into this to understand what affect her mother’s role had on her childhood experience. She mentions that it did not particularly affect her and does not portray any sense of resentment for her mother’s involvement in the community. However, she does emphasise the role of religion in regulating her family’s routine. I probe further to understand how her childhood affected her perceptions.
TQ: So did that effect sort of what you expected out of life. Would you say how you are now was affected by sort of what your mother did, what your father
