A public holiday.

At times like this I wish I married early and had my children at a sensible age like everybody else. Then I would not have had the bother of a son with an unreliable car at my age, who borrows mine more than what I use it myself.

Today is a public holiday in South Africa. This is a good time to get my homework up to date. With a daughter in her final school year, who is too lazy to help in the house, forever busy with the phone, nothing gets done if I don’t do it. I suppose those are the pleasures of being a mother. Well, I better get busy. At least I won’t be pestered all the time. My son has gone off with my car, my daughter is visiting her father and my brother and his wife left on Saturday night with a friend. They are only expected back late this afternoon.

Hi Harry, I live in a block of town houses with very little lawn to mow. I don't expect my daughter to mow the lawn or to do the washing etc, but she can at least tidy up behind her. My son was even worse. Luckily he and his girlfriend have their own place. For some reason he now does all those chores that he refused to do while he was still at home.doh
