Upset with granddaughter

One of my grandmothers had no washing machine. Everything was hand washed and to be honest the house was a bit whiffy. the other grandmother had a wart on her nose ,was twisted with arthritis and when she told me that my father had only married my mother because he needed a housekeeper she never saw me again. I never told why I didn't go back to visit her. They were both lessons in how to behave.

I feel so sorry for the grandmas of Stansgran. One without washing machine and the house a bit whiffy! Couldn't someone have helped her out?. The other with a wart on her her nose and twisted with arthritus, as if she could help either of those things, is that all a person is, the sum of their physical perfection.. She made a thoughtless comment and never saw her granddaughter again. They just didn't measure up.

Did any of our grandmothers have washing machines? My parents got one in the 50s and they were certainly not widely owned then.

Neither my mother or grandparents had a washing machine, and I had to wait a while when married to be able to buy one.
The granmother who made the cruel remark about the Mother sounds a real charmer.
