Mr Attwood has finally made me realize that I am not an over protective mother who has made my Ds dependent by constantly helping him (thanks for the useless input from uneducated people over the years!), It's there, in black and white! I am in fact his 'Executive secretary' and I am loving the job title (ok so really I am heartbroken that my Ds will need me to constantly help him to succeed with the smallest of tasks which come naturly to most for the unforseeable future) but hey I would say that's the best job title I have ever had and it gives me great pleasure that it is for someone very close to my heart...my Ds .
So from this point on I am no longer a stay at home mum, who does nothing but wrap my Dc up in cotton wool (thanks for the input mum, very helpful), comments such as "he will never learn if you don't leave him to it!" (thanks bruv I wish you had pointed this out sooner, that will be why at the age of 7 he will just stand in the middle of his room looking lost if I don't give him constant verbal instructions, cheers!), "It must be so hard for you every morning due to his dawdling?" (from teacher with very sympathetic look on her face) eerrrmmm no because I help him, rather than happily watch him struggle with what he is doing.
Sitting back and giving it some thought, I have realized that I am also a secretary for my younger Dd, but that's fine I believe I have more than enough experience to pull this off .
So to all you other secretaries out there I would like to offer a and congratulate us all on the outstanding jobs we are doing.....CHEERS!!
