I was so worried about my new job not going well but it is actually quite fun. I get to take the disabled girl out anywhere and she is a happy girl. She can watch movies and she loves shopping and I help her with her homework as I have to do the writing and she enjoys hitting the balloon back and forth. This is actually good exercise for her. The family is indian so I am learning to cook quite a few different dishes too. Her little sister is so lively and they are such good kids. It is a very loving environment and they are very happy to have me there. The mum is so grateful for my help so it makes my job so easy.
My son did come home. His dad is making him ring him every morning at 7.30 to make sure that he is going to school. He has told him he can move in with him in the holidays but right now he can go to school every day. He is now making the effort to do this. I hope this is the right thing for him. Sometimes I feel I put my job and other peoples kids before my own but I need to put food on the table and a roof over our head and that does make me feel guilty but I know that a lot of working mums feel this.
