You just can’t get rid of them can you?
Just when I was beginning to look forward to two months away from my family, finding my independence and having a completely unique adventure which I could boast about when I got home, my sister decided to become an au pair too. Not only is it in the same country, but in the same town. Yep, that’s right. The same tiny weeny little town that is Terracina.
Even if I am slightly disappointed, the situation does have a few positives:
1. If I get homesick, I could pay her a visit and be reminded of the reason I wanted to leave in the first place. (Just kidding, I love her really!)
2. I can bask in the knowledge that I’ll be paid more money than her and that our house will be closer to the sea.
3. She has never met her family – they could be a bunch of complete weirdos! Whereas I have enjoyed a glorious Tuscan lunch at their home in Surrey (that reminds me, I know that mine can cook as well)
So even if she will be stealing my glory, it won’t be all bad…
