About me

Introduction	Aren’t you supposed to have stopped looking after your children before you have to look after your parents? As an only child with a 5 year old son, a new born baby, a 73 year old mum divorced from my 63 year old dad, a 9 year old half brother and a teenage career, I sometimes feel I’ve lost at the generation game. This blog is mainly about my mum’s struggle with Alzheimer’s and my struggle to deal with it, whilst juggling the rest of ‘having it all’. When did the generations get so mixed up? I am 35, but most days I feel 100.
