You never know what will come hurtling your way next. I used to say, “When our kids grow up, then we’ll be free.” But, of course, it’s not like that. You don’t know what caring responsibilities await you.
Today could be a foreshadow of all that is to come. My wife is sick. My elderly mother-in-law, already dependent on full-time care, still needs looking after. So that’s two of them, plus two teenagers not quite independent.
Between the school run, caring for the sick and infirm, preparing meals and carrying out the day job, everything is chaotic today. This way and that, and everything in between.
