But seriously if I ever find one I am so going to suggest I become a house husband.

Got to be easier than working.

Wife earns just enough to not pay tax for doing my accounts!

Would NOT like to swap places, I'll take asp.net anyday over looking after kids with chicken pox.

If you're BOTH contractors then you must be loaded. So why don't you get some servants or a butler to attend to those duties?

Bob Geldof did not get the kids though his wife was a drug user. It was only when she started leaving drugs lying around in smartie packets that he got custody.

Of those men who go to court, 4% get custody and 4% get shared.

My date rate is £50 a day more than Mr WA's but he is catching up - I used to have a day rate of £100 more. I need an rate rise to keep my rightful position as head of household!

Depends which one you mean.

What if you add them together. Are you ladies categorised in the letters according to earning power? Names?
