I was quite able at the insignificant work I did in MI6, but absolutely dysfunctional in my domestic life. I had no experience of fatherhood. I had no example of marital bliss or the family unit.
I’m just a public-schoolboy. I’ve got a degree. I’m from a middle-class family in Devon. I’ve got no story.
In my family, we let our boys have a say in what veggie side they want for dinner that night. We list off a handful of options and get them excited about helping to plan the dinner menu. They’re much more inclined to finish their plates when they’ve helped decide what goes on them.
To me, money is the ability to create lifelong experiences for my family and myself, to educate my children and a way to give back to humanity.
My parents did a great job raising me and my two sisters. We all graduated from high school and we all graduated from college. So, to be a good representative of my family is probably my greatest accomplishment thus far.
You don’t have a family doctor anymore like you did when you were a kid, who treated you throughout your life.
Although my family – parents and sister – all work in the personnel management business, their real passion is performing, amateur operatic societies and so on.
