What was l to do ?
Now what would you do if your daughter rang you and said that she had just run over her laptop computer with her car ? Hmmm...l suggested that she ring somebody who knew something about computers rather than her Mother who knows nothing very much about computers. I thought it was a good solution. Her father has a very good friend George who builds computers. George was my friend too, till l got divorced. You would think that she would phone her father. Nope. As this was the laptop computer supplied to her by Real Deal Bedding and Furniture where she works (where l used to work) she was expecting me to ring her boss. I know that l should support her but there comes a time in one's life where one must simply stand on their own two feet. Besides she has got bigger feet than me. Anyway, she did not find me at all helpful and told me so. Then she hung up on me. I phoned back and told her to grow up and found myself apologizing for not being good enough to be able to help her. Stupid. Why did l feel so inadequate ? Why does she always made me feel bad when something goes wrong in her life ? What was l suppose to do ?

Well she would have looked like a complete twit if her mummy had to ring on her behalf. No need to apologise, either she is old enough to have that job or she isn't. She wont thank you in years to come for not making her stand on her own two feet. What a dill she is sometimes. Glad I dont have to be that age again.
