Retiring to the family business

It is not what you think.
I am reducing my working days to babysit my granddaughter! So I am gradually easing from one job and moving into another.
It is a logical thing to do. The young people need to develop a career. Plus they should not be stuck at home with a baby. And a baby needs more love than what a stranger can give. I can go on with more justifications.
So I have put up my hand and I have been headhunted to be a babysitter for two days a week – board and lodging provided.
I will not only babysit 6 month-old Sara, but I may also have to chauffeur 3 year old Rachel to and from pre-school. This will ensure I will have a driving licence till I am ninety.
It is actually a privilege to get a new career. So here I am, reinventing myself for one more time. Of course, I do have a track record. I am not sure if you think Han and Joe are well-adjusted adults. And I am not called baby whisperer for nothing.
It is good not to have grandpa retire to pasture. Think of all the inheritance money I will save from NOT holidaying in Europe, NOT cruising to the South Pacific, NOT towing a caravan across Australia, or spending money on golf balls.
So starting next week, I will not have to sit and watch so much TV, look for messages on Facebook, or take aimless walks around my suburb.
Time for some real, serious family business.
