I'm still needed!

Daughter has been unrecognisable since she went back to school yesterday. She's had her bag packed the night before, been on time without me having to chase her, remembered all her books, PE clothes, etc . .

I'm in danger of being made redundant 🥺

She brought her best friend back after school.today and they were busily trying on new leotards in her bedroom ahead of gymnastics club tomorrow. When her friend had left I hesitantly asked her if she still wanted me to come to gymnastics as I always used to.

"Of course!" came the answer 😊

A girl still needs her chief bag carrier, cheerleader, and provider of treats, so it seems 🤗

Your way into obsolescence is unavoidable. Believe me 😐

Sentimental value, if nothing else. 😅

@ineedadrink I'm an old teddy bear who still gets dragged around when her owner remembers 🐻

@SunshineGirl Never underestimate the importance of being her base & support. 🤗

We become consultants instead of managers as they age.
