In half term we visited my mum who lives in London. My mother commented; “You always arrive and then fall asleep!” She sounded surprised by her own observation. I wanted to defensively list reasons as to why this lone parent would possibly arrive at her mothers after a long journey on two trains, and two buses with a five year old and want to collapse.
