Oh, I know where you are coming from, Florabunda! All my grandchildren’s other gps are couples and, while I have a partner, he doesn’t live with me, and has health problems so can’t be much practical help. As an example: I was in London to look after my granddaughter for a couple of days. Her other gps were due to take over. My daughter told her husband he had to be home next day to put his daughter to bed since she would be working late. I said “why can’t Mand P do it?” My son in law said “ well, my mum is 70, it’s too hard for her.” I am 6 months younger than her, and two years older than her husband, and had bathed and put my granddaughter to bed each night on my own. They both looked surprised and said “you’re not nearly seventy, are you?” So yes, I do think sometimes children forget a) how old you are and b) you’re doing this on your own!
