OK,
first posting on a blog so might not be a great read, but here goes!!! Are you
a Redundant Mammy? One day you are changing nappies, packing them off to school
with their ham sandwiches, encouraging them to study hard for those really big
end of the world exams, then off to college they go. All in the blink on an eye.
Then of course it's just the beginning of them leaving the nest, college
followed by independence, followed by occasional visits home and yes there you
are a Redundant Mammy!
Every now and again there comes a call, an emergency that only mammy can
fix, like does the chicken really have to be fully defrosted before I cook it
or I just turned the washing machine on with red socks in with my white
shirt, what do I do now?
So this blog is about what does mammy do now? She's still young, ok, well
young at heart but all her years of training have been about making choices to
suit her family. If employed outside the home, its nearly always mammy that had
to rush home if the school rings to say her little darling isn't feeling well,
but now...the school isn't ringing, there's no one to pick up , no dropping off
at football/drama/dancing, no one emptying the fridge and the issue of
"Do I really need to make dinner for just me?" (or two as the case
may be!)
All of this paints a pretty gloomy picture of the Redundant Mammy, BUT out
there is a new and exciting life, with endless challenges and opportunities.
Let us know, are you that survivor, did you turn your world around, do you wear
your new title with pride?
