2174This is my beautiful cousin Adriana. Of her SOTM, she says: “My son Ben was going to school, and just as he was leaving the house he said: ‘Mummy. I’m going to school. Eloise is going to school. Daddy’s going to work. What do you do all day?’

”Then he told me this, which left me rather speechless, and I think it’s the epitome, the definition of my role as a mother and his perception. And oh my god, it’s not changed – it’s the same perception I had of my mum. It’s amazing that kids take us so much for granted, they don’t realise what a mother does. One day, when he has kids, he might appreciate it and come and say sorry.”
