How Evacuation effected peoples lives

Evacuation effected peoples lives a lot during the Second World War as a lot of families became broken up after the evacuations. Another way in which evacuation effected peoples lives is that there was a lot of mixing in social classes and families showing favouritism to their own children, For example if a middle class family child went to live with a lower class family child the middle class family child would not be used to working which would mean the parents and families getting fed up with the middle class child working as hard as they would normally expect and also they would treat their child better and help it out more, and not give as much support to the child.

Another problem with Evacuation is that it ends up costing more money because you have to pay for the post and the money for paper, so this means that you end up paying more in the end to keep in contact with your children. This might be a reason for families breaking up because some families cannot afford to keep in touch.
