Do you ever find it hard to remember how you ever found the time to have your kids in the first place?

Do you ever find yourself completely sapped with exhaustion, but still feel as though you haven't done half the things you needed to get done today? Imagine reading this job advertisement in a newspaper- POSITION AVAILABLE PARENT, full-time- long days, seven days a week, some time off in the evenings. While no previous experience is necessary, the applicant must demonstrate the following. *You must be a kind, considerate person.
*This position requires a competent self-starter with excellent communication skills.
*Must be able to provide an atmosphere of love and support.
*The ability to be adaptable and flexible is essential.
*Strong leadership skills an advantage.
*A willingness to put yourself second is required.
*Entertainment skills will be highly regarded though great talent in this area not essential.
*Must be able to work with limited supervision and be on-call 24 hrs a day.
*Current driver's licence would be an advantage.
*Duties include- cooking, cleaning, teaching, nursing, social-working, psychology, conflict resolution, driving, buying, selling, managing, entertaining, general administration and washing the dog. Although this is a non-paying, voluntary and life-long position, a modest salary package of joy, laughter and affection is included to help prevent you from walking out.
