I was an only child so had q quiet upbringing.  Then I married at twenty-one and was lucky enough to have three children.  Then I got divorced, and then met my present husband who hadn't got any children as he was a toy boy.  So I had two more children.  I love my family and they are my life.  But I have always wanted more, out of life.  I haven't found anything I am good at and even now I am older I am still looking for something.  I work part time as these days money is tight as everything costs so much.  I would love to help my older children get on the property ladder but they can't and on their wages its hard so they live at home.  Only my eldest daughter has her own home and two little boys of her own, which makes me a grandmother as well.  Having two younger children and working everything is juggled.  I thought life was supposed  to begin at forty but I think it's got harder.

As well as the children we have our parents to look after.  I have only my mother left and I would like to spend more time with her, but there is only one of me and I fell I haven't enough energy to go round.  Do you feel the same or have you come up with a answer I would love to here about it.
