Kids - when do you stop worrying about them?
The answer is clearly never.
I was talking to a work contact the other day and she told me she was now back working part time. She has 3 young daughters and she thinks they are now old enough for her to go back to work. However, she was finding it tough going as she was constantly concerned about them as they were out of her sight. I probably didn't cheer her by saying it doesn't get much easier as I have daughters in their late teens and the worrying doesn't stop.
I have been like a cat on a hot tin roof all morning as I agreed that daughter number 1 could drive herself back to Uni today to pick up all her stuff and move into a new place she is to share with other students. I was going to drive her there but am off sick at the mo (hence all my posts of late!).
She has been driving for a couple of years now and passed her test over a year ago but has mostly only driven local. The journey to Uni is around the M25 and M4! Nightmare! Visions of her little car surrounded by juggernauts! Anyway, she just texted me to say she has arrived and the journey was fine. So, worry over, until the next thing of course!
