Children...
OK - so hands up all of you who agree with this: sisters get on really well all the time...
You see, I was an only child, so understanding the dynamics of a large family requires a new skill, and even though my oldest daughter is almost 25, I'm still learning.
Let's just say that at a time when my dh and me reckon we should be 'livin it large', we're still ultra-dependent on how the sprogs are feeling at the time... if they're happy, we're happy, and we can start making plans to do something exciting with the 'second half'' of our lives. If they're not happy, we're stuck right here trying to sort them out first before we make a move... Heck- I'm starting to sound like one of those wimpy heroines who never makes it to tell her story in Harlequin Presents!
But we all know that it ain't that easy to cut loose and do our own thing, however much we may want to...
If any of you have true life stories to relate on making that brave step forward- and, hey, the family survived- let me know please... by the usual route.
Love to you all
Susan
