Sorry, but this morning's story she had to get her neighbour to watch her kids so she could go for a run - aren't her kids 10 and 12? Assuming a run would be maybe just over an hour isn't that acceptable time for them to be in the house alone - I'm only saying as when I was 11 and my sister was 12 my parents would pop to the shops while we stayed at home for an hour or so maybe times have changed since then
Just feel she's milking the whole "I'm a single mum so can't do anything" type of thing, yet she has more time free than I do with a husband!
