However I didn’t hear the “18 summers” message the way you did. It didn’t put pressure on me. It allowed me to appreciate the little things about our summers and stay in the moment. It helped distract me from planning and shopping for back-to-school. It reminded me to create photo albums to remember special times, and buy fridge magnets and eat the ice-cream and not try to rush through my days in a whirl of organisation like I do with the rest of the year. For me the 18 summers message was simply a helpful reminder. Anyway, it’s not 18 summers in my experience. After about 14 they go off by themselves!

I kinda like the sentiment in a weird way but why just summer? Why is summer the only important season?

We have 18 years with our children but many many more with our grown up children x

Stacey is 15 now and doesn’t want to spend as much time with me as she used to. And that’s fine. And today I spent two hours playing football on the park with Oscar and he thought it was the best day ever. We had an ice-cream and almost died from the heat, but he’s happy enough and didn’t moan once 😂
