Obviously there's always 'could you start an ironing business?'
New faves are:
Would a lodger be an option? (random man moves into your family home with small children. Why would they want to? I mean it must be most people's idea of hell. Not to mention the trauma for the kids of daddy moving out and then a strange man moving in who doesn't eat with us but is upstairs, playing music and having loud phone conversations)
Could you get a less challenging job? (To someone struggling with a huge mortgage and huge workload)
On the flip side 'could you not get a better paid job?' Why didn't I think of that? Here I am being a sous chef when I could be a solicitor, what a dick I am.
What about an au pair? (Where from??)
Would you consider a nanny? (To a band 5 single parent nurse)
Could you ask one of the parents at your school to help? (please approach Tania who hasn't spoken to you since the bake sale of 22 to commit to picking your two children up every Thursday for the rest of time until a place on bloody afterschool club comes up, and sit back to read Tania not so subtly blast you as a CF on Mumsnet)
'Could their dad do more?' (well yes of course their dad could do more, pretty much all dad's everywhere could always bloody do more, that's why they're not posting their woes on the internet, they aren't worrying about it)
Also the expectation that everyone is working from home all the time so should be fitting in their ten hours of HIIT a week unless you're in a profession which they really need to speak to such as travel insurance in which case how very dare you and get back to the office.
