When the elderly was assigned to kindergarten, the wife was on the rescue, then the child was chesty and restless, then the wife also broke her leg.
The kindergarten is not far from us, but far from us. I took the little girl away in the morning, and I took the whole family of my wife, who could, and in the evening I took her away from them when I could. My aunt went to meetings.

In general, they saw their mother only two years later.
