Chat from an Empty Nester My lovely Annie arrives home in Bangkok today from the UK, having pretty much finished her year’s study. It's a reprieve from my being an empty nester! Her third term consists of zero lessons, only three exams in late May (she opted for lots of coursework modules this year) and a bill for about 3,300 pounds for the privilege of sitting those exams. Putting that aside, I’m beyond excited to have her home.
Weirdly, even though I’m 50 and Annie’s 20, I bet that whilst she’s here I’ll defer to her in most decision-making and structure my own days around her plans. (Hopefully they will include me a little bit!) Don’t for one minute think that’s Annie’s fault. It really isn’t. She's as laid back as a sloth during the holidays, but I just really want her to have a good time and for her to keep coming back to visit. Good job I don’t have a ‘needy mum’ siren alert attached to me as I’d be arrested for noise pollution!! |
