He refused full time employment there despite very attractive remuneration packages because he wanted to be back in India where he did not have to worry about fending for himself!Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-62173377209210481682011-12-03T18:39:22.727-03:302011-12-03T18:39:22.727-03:30pretty sure i was nowhere near that responsible at...pretty sure i was nowhere near that responsible at 17.lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055442432266567561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-79658901343535502312011-12-02T10:31:09.090-03:302011-12-02T10:31:09.090-03:30I love it!

She had a sleep over and got her pale to help with the 'clean-up' before we arrived home.<br /><br />My biggest problem was from the parents of Elly's peers who thought I was being neglectful by leaving her. These same parents who would soon wave their offspring off to University and expect them to behave like an adult overnight!Grannymarhttp://grannymar.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-24190215974227454752011-12-02T02:47:50.129-03:302011-12-02T02:47:50.129-03:30Yep, the onset of adult responsibilities is a nast...Yep, the onset of adult responsibilities is a nasty wakeup call! Sounds like your granddaughter is handling it in the usual way; my son at age 19 and going to university for the first year is learning what pressure is, and man does he feel hard-done-by!
