S

Sandrine is 41 I think. She had early onset menopause from at least the last couple of years we were married , probably earlier... This is what her doctor told her . I'd forgotten until the subject came up. She's prone to depression anyway.. And tends to retire to her bed a lot at weekends. She doesn't sound very happy. In fact when I take the girls back to hers when every she is cheerfully welcoming there is a collective sign of relief. 

I had to press the reset button on Eloise at weekend. I get to a point when the teenage rudeness  and  Sandrine like tone and moaning get too much. TV's get turned off, mobile phones and pad confiscated , riot act read. I'm getting quite good at it , and Eloise is a much nicer  and happier child after the sulking finishes, about an hour.
