I am a feature writer working on an urgent piece for a broadsheet newspaper, after Gavin & Stacey actress Joanna Page called her husband a "fifth child" following a row on a family holiday. I am looking to hear from women who really identify with this situation - eg. you do everything for holidays (including the planning/ packing/ organising kids etc)? Do you sometimes see your partner as an “extra child” and is this all part of your mental load?
Please message me if you'd be willing to share any experiences about this. I’m on a very tight deadline so ASAP would be great. (We can change names if needed).
Many thanks, Anna
