To keep a good relationship with governess and the family you both need space even if you or they say they don't need it, to last the year or more you do and leave with good feelings. In a normal 9 to 5 jobs you would not be spending all of your time with your employers, at 5 O’clock you would go home and not see them until the next day.

I live in the house with the family and the kids consider me part of the family. I am very lucky that we all get along like a house on fire. It is sometimes hard to draw the line but going out on the weekend even if it is only every now and again gives you a break from each other ... and new things to talk about.
ReplyDeleteMind you it is amazing how little being together can worry us until it rains for weeks on end.
