So I got a call, at work, from my hubby informing mw that his father had died suddenly, in Japan.

Messages from my sister-in-law, followed .

We scrambled around for a few hours and hubby bought his ticket to Japan. A few days later my children had to stay at home and be home schooled due to the Prime Minister ordering a restrictive rule for the population to practice social distancing.

The first two weeks of hubby being away, I was like a mad woman as I tried to get th kids (16 &13) to do more in the house.

My 16 year old has to be tweaked abit, but my 13 year old (GAWD and still is GAWD)

Like alot of parents, there is/was no way that I could help teenagers do their school work as my 16 year old is doing A Levels that I didn’t do and my 13 year old can’t be bothered to do his.

So I decided to get them to start doing the house maintenance
