Scope and Contents

INTVEEs live in a four apartment house on the second storey of a tenement building with their five children ages. After they married they lived with both sets of parents for five years in various rooms in the same district. When INTVER arrived, male INTVEE was washing the dishes and INTVER thinks he generally takes over domestic chores in the evening. Female INTVEE says she is always tired. They think Pilton is friendlier than Drylaw and would like to move back there and be near relatives but the houses are not as nice. There is a competitiveness in the stair, if one person buys something the others soon follow. Female INTVEE goes to the bingo three nights a week. INTVER says she tried to do the interview according to the schedule they had tentatively drawn up but feels it loses a lot of the feeling of the family situation.
