what was with t he alochol today?

bloody mad
no ohter mums
no routine
no bed time

I thinkt hatw ould be more to do with His salryt han hers
what would she be on 45?
minus the nanny?

anyway they are obv not so hard up as they ahve had that extension

Oh and I also would absolutely hate for dh to have a job that would involve a 4 hour commute each day. What a complete and utter waste of time!!!
Sorry, that programme really got me going.
can't you tell?

oooooooooooh yes

What did they need an extension for anyway? The house was massive as it was!

Errrm - DH has a 4 hr commute every day - at the end of the day, not much of a choice - unless he decided to make himself unemployed!

Also I thought the narrator of the programme said they moved house shortly after giving up work - not had an extension - the house was completely different.

But wasn't he totally unsupportive?

It was like 'someone should be home with the kids and I'm not doing it' I didn't agree with her stance, but felt sorry for her being pressured like that.

Yes, I thought it was a different house too.

Missed it but am intrigued. Does it get repeated?

Emkana, some people actually enjoy their jobs. They may enjoy the financial independence. They may enjoy achieving something different from the sort of achievements you see when you are a parent. They may have talents they have to use. They may feel they are making a difference. They might care passionately about the work they do. They may enjoy the adult company and being themselves for a while. They may feel work is an important part of their identity. Full-time motherhood isn't for everyone. Some people do get a 'kick' out of work. You didn't, fair enough, you've obviously made the right choice for you and your family. Other people make different choices that suit them and their family.
Dh saw the end of the programme and said apparently the father ended up giving up work, after the mother had taken a year off.

Hi everyone!

Oh, I didn't notice it was a different house - still looked rather nice!

Thought it quite funny how she seemed to have lots of 'me time' - off to the hairdressers at T&G?? I should be so bloody lucky - WHEN?????

I really want one of those big trampolines too! I'm gonna have one when I move house - obviously I'll pretend it's for ds's but it will be MINE !

Don't think the father gave up work did he??? I didn't hear that.

Ooooh no, lets not have another SAHM vs WOOTH row - we all do what we feel is right for us and if we, and our kids, are happy with those choices, who is anyone else to pass judgement. Wouldn't do for us all to be the same would it?

edam, I hear what you're saying
it just totally and utterly eludes me, that's all.
I'm happy for everybody who's happy with their choices, really!

What I meant, and wrote, by the way was why anyone would choose to work full time if they didn't have to. Just imagine that it must be so utterly utterly exhausting.
I remember I was always shattered when I was working full time, and I didn't have kids then. I just don't know how people manage! (and I do admire them for managing!)

No the dad didn't give up work at all. And they still had the nanny even though she had given up work.
Couldn't understand her crying and winging over her difficult"choice". Doesnt she relise how lucky she is to be absolutly loaded and acually have a choice.
It was sooooo obvious that child has been given beer on regular occassions. He knew what it was and was screaming for it.
Did anyone else see her give her 15mth old baby a sip of her wine?
