Now that all my children are of drinking age (18) I can go back to bed and have a well earned nap. I have passed on all my skills: how to read, perform most household tasks without getting out of bed, shop, charm, follow the etiquette rules of centuries past. They in turn taught me how to cyber stalk, cross busy streets by attaching myself to responsible looking men clutching umbrellas and briefcases and pretend to speak foreign languages by dramatic shrugging, and heavily accented expressions of exasperation.
I shall pass my parenting skills down to them one day. From what I recall almost everything to do with parenting involves sleepless nights, chipped nail varnish and annoying The In-Laws. Pretending to be foreign only goes so far with ones own children and in-laws.
