So there was me just thinking I was really unhinged.
It started with the kids getting their places in uni. My weekends are being filled with choosing accommodation and applications for grants.
Whilst I have every confidence my kids can feed themselves, wash their pants and be polite in others’ company, did I teach them enough about budgeting? I’m a bookkeeper for goodness sake. It’s in my nature to budget, but did they pick up these skills?
And what about street sense? Will they find their way home? Know how to adapt if their transport gets cancelled and what about stranger danger….
So here’s me, spiralled out of control. One’s going to get kidnapped by human traffickers and the others been so sheltered from drugs they’re going to start experimenting, get out of control and OD.
As my kid’s futures spiralled out of control I started thinking other parts of my life were becoming unstuck.
But then I saw the psychologist, turns out it all could just be ADHD?
