That was one of the many blessings in my life. My folks didn't pay a lot of attention to us, but Dad came home with the paycheck every Thursday and was home every night, steady as a rock. Mom put dinner on the table every evening and every morning. I always had a stable platform to launch from.
From the time I was a kid I was taught to work, and as a teenager I was told, "You are going to college. We don't know how you're going to pay for it, but you're going."
I was the first one in our family to start college. My little sister was the first one to graduate.
