I’ve been busy over the last week or so doing annual reviews and pointing out to all who will listen that ‘independence’ doesn’t mean having to do everything yourself. We are social creatures and we need each other and this is more than OK.

It really is. My son is now 25 and I stayed at home until my youngest went to school…which turned into 10 years! I did some self-employment but really couldn’t have managed anything else. We were all too poorly and too knackered.

I agree in principle, but I’m thinking of the practical realities of life - teachers do this but I think because of teachers standards rather than EA duties (I think most people don’t know about the EA, for instance)

I try not to contact uni-baby every day, but with medication changes the only way she could come up with a reminder for herself was…me! Argh
