A mother who lives near me asked me to look after her 7 year old boy this evening while she goes to a hospital appointment.
The mother has phoned me because the boy does not want me to look after him as I only have daughters and granddaughters.
I am also the son of a headmistress according to him. As most people know on here I am in fact the son in law of a headmistress.
Can anybody understand why I will no good at looking after him?.
She has managed to get another man to look after him who is a car mechanic.

Frank,I guess the 7 year old figured you don't know how to entertain a boy child his age. Maybe a car mechanic is more interesting to him than a person that's been around a strict headmistress and takes care of girls. I wouldn't take it personally.

It pays to start early.
I was signed up to the pension and AVC scheme the day I started work.

Do you ever think of anything else other than money?
