Problem: This is simply the bleak reality for parents of young children without live - in nannies . Second is the need for comfort . I come from a family of tea grannies , and ever since I was a child , tea represented the immediate , if temporary , solution for almost all problems .

What may parents without live in nannies face ?

A: They may have no one to help when they 're very busy .

Problem: Daddy had less time for me , we no longer went on the family days out , Theresa and Pete has disappeared out of our lives and Anna turned from a loving fun step mum to a spiteful and very jealous cow and Dad let her do everything in her way . Olivia was Anna 's and Dads new child and she did n't like Dad spending time with us . I remember Olivia 's Christening was on my 8th birthday and the family came to celebrate but everyone forgot my birthday .

What may have happened on my birthday ?

A: The guests ignored me for Olivia .

Problem: Our father suffered terribly in his quiet way and sometimes in an unguarded moment our normally stoic dad would drop his calm demeanor and his sadness would leak out through his eyes . At 22 , after a tip from a young cousin , I made a few phone calls to a college in the middle of nowhere and told a couple of lies so big even I would n't have believed them to an unsuspecting soul in the registrars office . It worked somehow and she confirmed my sister was enrolled that semester before giving me her home phone number .

Where is the narrator 's sister residing ?

A:
She is at college .
