Well we have no evidence that they're much better off bow so I'm still
surprised she doesn't seem to be working. I understand why she perhaps
wouldn't want to work while the kids were young but once they were all at
boarding school I think that she would go back to work - or at least do
something. With no one to look after for 8 months of the year I hope she's a
member of the ww equivalent of the WI or she'd be going insane from boredom.

I do understand why she still wouldn't want to work during the holidays - if
I had kids like the Twins I'd want to keep at least two eyes on them at all
times too.
