Yes—exactly my thought! We’ve moved from having a few spares to jealously guarding the 1 or 2 we do have.

I rather think that is an aspect of each family’s priorities. My mother was one of 11 children, 9 who lived to adulthood. From what she told me over the decades they pretty much knew where they were and what they were doing as a tool of teaching the kids responsibility in communicating and family caring. My father’s family was a nightmare, from what I was able to glean. His family came from a different part of the country and his father was a real bad person. His mother died in her 30’s and his step-mother was driven from a normal-adjusted to woman to one who could only eat out of plastic ware because he drove her to such a terrible state of mind. And that was my father saying that during discussions. My father, at 15, ran away and joined the Army during the Korean War. When a young man does that it’s a pretty solid indication of a sorry home life. So. It really does matter on the family dynamics..then and now...
