Mum's list

[readyforno2]

Have started reading Mum's list (stupidly in public whilst ds at swimming lesson) and have cried since the beginning. Does it get any easier to read or should I do a Joey (Friends) and just put it safely in the freezer?

I've nearly finished it, just reading it before I go to sleep at night. It's a tear jerker all the way :( Makes you think...

The author was on This Morning with his kids a few weeks back. Holly Willoughby was in tears! She completely broke down while interviewing him.

I'm reading it at the moment, about half way through. Been a brilliant read so far although very sad that the whole family have been through so much grief and heartache first with Reef's cancer and then Kate's shortly after Reef getting better. They're such wee cuties from what I saw in the interview on This Morning.

Is that that thing where she said what instruments the boys have to learn, and what they have to become when they leave school and stuff? I find the whole thing creepy and weird. Nobody should be that controlling over their children, whether they're here to see it or not Those poor boys will feel obliged to do what the list says, regardless of what they actually want, or are good at, all their lives, with "the world" watching. What kind of emotional burden is that to put on children? just no.
