I'm asking for help again for another article I'm working on. There's a book out next week about marriage and it's talking about how the domestic burden of responsibility falls heavier on the woman after couples get married. I know this is a topic close to some of your hearts because it's been discussed before.
The theory in this book is that when you live together (no kids) everythings split 50-50 ... then you marry and, whether you're both working or not, gradually running the home becomes more your responsibility - then children come along and, hey presto, you're running the show.
I need to find three women prepared to let rip along those very lines. Obviously not being too damning towards their husbands - but we'd need anecdotes to illustrate the point. It's a pretty lighthearted piece.
If anyone thinks they might be interested in being a case study (I'll read it back to you before I file) then please email me at [email protected].
Also I'd love to hear from any of you about issues you think I should be looking at (I specialise in women's/parenting issues) then please drop me a line.
Many thanks once again
