and I'm sure sometimes the father has to take care of the kids while the mother is working, right? The horror. There was a story in Daily Fail..no wait, Guardian, about it.
www.guardian.co.uk/film/filmblog/2011/sep/19/dont-know-how-she-does-it
I quote: "Do high-flying supermums really get what they want by cheating their children, partners, colleagues and employers? people keep saying, "I don't know how she does it." We're asked to believe she does it by being a really super person. In fact, she does it by being a scumbag."
poor hubby is expected to take care of his offspring: "He's [the husband] trying to pursue a career of his own, but when junior falls down the stairs it's Dad who has to take him to hospital, since Mom's away on business yet again."
and we conclude with: "it's unwise to give women tough jobs because they're intrinsically unreliable."
It's in the paper so must be true.
