That's not entirely true. Beccy is 32 and I'm 35, Rosie is 15. Within a year or two, she'll be out of our hair, if I have my way. LOL.
Life back again, and in time to enjoy it.
Benni - What you're saying is the wrong way round. I'm young enough to be able to vividly remember my youth and now I'm a parent, it's easy to see how unreasonable I was. Also, your kids moan because you want to know where they are going and when they'll be back, but it's not always because you are being nosey, or even because you care. In our case, the last thing we want is for Rosie to walk in while I'm piling one into her Mum on the sofa.
WE have a right to privacy too, which means that it's not acceptable for her to just come and go as she pleases.
