Yes to both of those, it is very satisfying, particularly as I have probably been proved wrong on many issues regarding the way they have been brought up - but I kept my mouth shut, and just supported whenever I could. Our grand-daughter got a job as soon as she left school - before that she worked as a Saturday girl and was constantly called in during her school holidays to 'cover' and served on the Customer Service counter. She again is not a bright spark, but well presented (which our grandson is not!) and can hold an intelligent conversation. She now works in a bank, and appreciates how well she did, considering the job market. We do know how lucky we are to have such a family who care about us as well.
Shall we reboot our cartoons thread again? 😁
