Good Morning everyone,
this is my first post and I didn't really know where to post it so I settled for here.
So where am I? Well home for the last 37 years has been the middle east though I'm originally from Scotland. However, my home in the UK when is in South Wales next door to my adored (step) dad.
I'm a mum to 5, the eldest is almost 35 and the youngest is 22. My youngest has very profound special needs and requires round the clock care which he has at home, he's looked after by myself and a few carers brought in for him (and us and the rest of the children) by my lovely husband who is anything but perfect. :D
Nana wise I have 3, soon to be 4 grandchildren, and apart from my son they are how I live my life. I don't have a career though I do help run the family business but even then, and in all honesty, my children and grandchildren fill my day. Before having any help with my son I looked after him at home for 20 years and I didn't really get to be the kind of mum I wanted to be with my other children quite a lot of the time. Having the help with my son means I can now catch up with things and be the mum I want to be, as well as the nana I want to be. I'm very lucky in that my children have no objection to this and Ive yet to be told to get on my broomstick and get lost. There is still time though. :D
So, not a very exciting first contribution, but to be quite honest with you I'm kind of enjoying being 55 and not very exciting.
The Republic of Ireland and their tensions with migrants.
