A woman's work is never done in a nice, quiet home office
Now he is retired and I work mostly at the office. On the rare days I work from home, I still work at the kitchen table, but he may let me work in his office for a couple of hours if I have to do some focused work. How nice of him! And I am an alleged feminist married to an alleged feminist ally.Name and address supplied
I have the lovely office one and a half days a week and my hubby, soon to be at home five days a week, gets a bedroom downstairs with a garden view. They don't get their way all the time!Joanna LaidlerSleaford, Lincolnshire
