Mr Fish'ed?
I notice that the article doesn't mention a Mr Fish'ed? Perhaps he earns too much to reduce his hours and the easiest option was to change her's - less work, same pin money!
When you join the Service you have to accept that life isn't the same as normal civvy life. I had to look after my kids for a few months after my separation - 'Time off please boss?' No, I got a bloody nanny in and took the financial hit. (she was a bit of alright too!!! ;-)
And while I'm on, happy hour, dining-in, Summer ball etc should be compulsary and we should sack all the party-pooping non-drinkers!
BTW,
If anyone is thinking of getting married consider a live in Nanny:
It's chaeper than being married
You can exchange it for a different one every year, without financial penalty!
They don't nag you when you get home P1ssed
They have other young nanny friends!
It pisses off the ex!!!!
Regards
Vage!
