Re: Cosseted
Repetitive & Boring, I know.
There were not many, during WW2, who were "Cossetted".
Most of the fathers & uncles were called up to fight, for a couple of pounds a week, most mothers working 12 hours a day to feed us.
Some kids came to school with Christmas & Birthday Presents, some had pocket money.
Of course, some found a way of "not going", some men, suddenly, became farm labour (bit like "essential workers"), some Ladies had the wherewithal and did not have to graft as much!
Extremely valuable lessons, though!
We were not cosseted & our descendants will not be cossetted either!
(Boring mode off)
