Nothing to do with step-parenting ......

.... but it made me smile.

I got talking to a lady at the gym tonight. She's got three children who go to private school, she doesn't work, and has a nanny ....

It's a whole different world, isn't it !!!!

Poor woman....

indeed it is.

but I'm not sure what is was tha tmade oyu smile, or indeed what kind of smile it was ?

And a cleaner and housekeeper????

Horrendous life must be a daily struggle.

I smiled a wistful smile. But I have DCs and DSCs and pull 50 hour weeks!

I can dream :)

A very dear friend of mine was a little bit like this - 2 lovely boys, SAHM, cleaner, gardener, regular gym trips.

However, husband (now ex) is a total fuckwit, so I never felt any envy really. It was a pretty nasty gilded cage.

mj... how did you post in the future..? weds 00.22??

Petal - you have far more to be proud of. i bet she wishes she were you
