A Different World

The more time I spend in East Hampton NY, the more I realize that even though NY and UT are in the same Country--we are miles apart. Just a few differences include that the average mom of a 6 year old is my mothers age (around 40), getting married before you're 30 is not a good idea, and the kid to nanny ration is 2:1. It has been such an experience being here, and in only two weeks I have learned so much.

I have been really lucky to have found a good family, the Seitz's are an amazing family and have really done a great job raising their kids. In fact today we had a BBQ at a friends house, (it was my day off but I went to help out) and the kids were running crazy!! I figured no worries the parents will step in, but oh why would they do such a thing when a nanny could do it for them? So mine and Summers day was spent wrangling and entertaining a large group of children. Another fearful fact?? I was raised to help out, you eat it you help clean it right? Not so much here...Dine and Dash was probably invented here actually. So I did my parents proud, I stayed and picked up trash and washed dishes and put food away, yep I am a super hero!!

My time here has taught me not to take the little things for granted, like a car, toilet paper, a dad who unplugs the toilet, a mom who does my laundry (its been two weeks and I need it done BAD), and of course a family that helps out.
