Re: considering job offer !!

Yes, men and women like that can be found anywhere :) But how many British women work part-time only, or don't work at all. I am genuinely curious. It was my impression that British women are...

Re: considering job offer !!

Yes, it is a choice, just in case you didn't know that. There is no law in any of the countries involved as far as I know obligating men/women to procreate.

Re: considering job offer !!

Oh and they have house cleaners! Yes, plural. If it's so hard, then don't have a second baby!

Re: considering job offer !!

Working two days a week does sound like a walk in the park...especially when having a baby is a choice, which she made herself actually as that is not what he wanted.

Re: considering job offer !!
