Would you quit your job to spare your husband from childcare?

The guy lasted THREE days??

Her husband could only last 3 days watching her son??

Good God, I hope he's embarrassed.

It sounds like there is more to this story and they are using it as a catch but that's not why they both quit. It sounds like they both lost their clients/businesses or why wouldn't she just hire a nanny for a few hours a day or hire staff to do her job so she could be home.

I love this.

I’m steaming this and using it. It’s brilliant.

Yeah. Until you’re actually still doing the job in question and realize you’re completely dead inside.
