| The Boys Are Back in Town. Simon Carr |
How do you talk to a five year old boy when his mother's just died? How do you look after him? And how do you cope when your eleven year old son by a previous marriage comes to live with you too? ‘We've lived for years now,' writes Simon Carr, ‘in a whole new, all-male institution. Given its inadequacies as a child-rearing unit, I like it. It's so different from a household run by a woman. It's home alone, except there are three of us.' |
