My mum retired from full time employment last week. This week she has been round every day at some point - helping me out, taking the children out so I can catch up with jobs, been shopping with me and even helped me puree some baby food! She says she is loving spending all this extra time with the grandchildren and she doesn't know how she had time to work. At the moment I`m really liking it especially as my husband works long hours and the extra help is really good.
