It turns out that not only is her husband the most attentive, handsome and considerate, but he can also cook! Her children are the world's most attentive offspring who never forget a birthday or anniversary and, indeed, will often produce something beautiful and hand-crafted to mark the occasion. Nieces and nephews are setting the world alight with their talent and ingenuity, while also finding time to raise thousands of pounds for charity. Older offspring excel at music and the arts, while holding down top-level jobs and managing happy teams.
And then there's the grandchildren, with their ditsy clothes and oh-so-appealing pet names. These are the best-behaved tots in the world, who sleep through the night, sail effortlessly through teething and chow down on organic cauliflower without a second thought.
Really, it's just too exhausting. Imagine having to keep up - and keep up with - all that.

DeleteIs it all real, or is it someone writing fiction? Must be difficult to live up to all that perfection.
ReplyDeleteRosemary, it's probably based on fact but with some general puffery and hogwash thrown in.
