I reckon she’d have thought all her birthdays had come at once! No schlepping back to the sticks - tick, no parental responsibility- tick, living it up as a singleton in the big smoke- tick, cute holiday (bungalow) by the sea - tick, happy days!
As a parent of children of a similar age, I am totally with her on this. Often wish I coudl ditch the lot and go and live my best life elsewhere without the noise & hassle
Hang on in there! My youngest has left in the last year and I have all the peace and time I want. It’s bliss, I tell you!As a parent of children of a similar age, I am totally with her on this. Often wish I coudl ditch the lot and go and live my best life elsewhere without the noise & hassle
I think she jumped at the chance to get a London flat! She always slagged off Sevenoaks and said how boring and provincial it was. She’d have suggested that she kept Aldeburgh and got herself a flat in London (to be nearer ITV ) I reckon she’d have thought all her birthdays had come at once! No schlepping back to the sticks - tick, no parental responsibility- tick, living it up as a singleton in the big smoke- tick, cute holiday (bungalow) by the sea - tick, happy days!
She has never come across to me as being massively vested in her children. She found them a bit tiresome and a bore. There’s no right or wrong way to parent be I think she’s “over it” - remembering she had no relationship with her mother. She knows no other way. Yes they are hard work at times but it’s magical having children. Best job of my life xx
I'm not surprised, who wants to be inside when its 30 degrees outside!!Erm,the Leeds Fashion Do doesn't look awfully busy....
