Hi and apologies for the additional question. In the last story, the idea is that she would constantly have to stay with a relative when she was growing up because her mother was always sick. So the 6-month reference is a repetitive one which I think is important. I wanted to make sure that this would be an OK replacement of the current version: "I would live with one for six months while my mother was in the hospital, then with another one (for some time/months)."
