Final answer:
The complete context of "I Stand Here Ironing" is required to accurately determine where Emily stayed until she was two, as the provided excerpts do not contain this information.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the short story "I Stand Here Ironing" by Tillie Olsen, the mother, reflecting on her struggles raising her daughter Emily, explains that due to financial instability and the need to work, she had to send Emily to stay with a family member when the child was eight months old.
However, the circumstances referred to in the provided excerpts do not reveal where the mother had to leave Emily until she was two. The details required to answer this particular question about Emily's whereabouts until she was two years old are not present in the provided text excerpts.
To provide an accurate response, the complete context of the story would need to be considered.
