So Eleanor is home, a fact that I have managed to overlook in the last two weeks since her return. Maybe that is because she has been so busy with school and her social life that it seems she is still not around?
She returned from Germany having had a great time, and was treated very well by all concerned. She made new friends, and experienced grandparents. It cannot be all bad when you have a day trip to Austria for snow boarding, a week away in Switzerland for snow boarding and a and a journey from West to East to experince Berlin. On her return it was straight back to school
And now she has a job. She is a waitress in a local cafe. She has done one proper session, and will be earning the minimum wage.She is already moaning about the tax take.Where did I go wrong? Maybe it is not surprising given the benefits of working the baby sitting black market.
Teenagers having a job while at school is much more common here, but care will be needed that there are enough hours in the week to fulfil all her responsibilities. Including the washing up at home.
