re: I’ll run the dynamic down for you. She’s a very valuable commodity to the boss: an ambitious young woman who is the sole breadwinner of the family with a presentable hubby who has already had the kid. She’ll work 80 to 100 hours a week, travel widely and run herself ragged. She won’t be pandering to the investment banker or hedge fund husband earning $10 mil a year. She won’t taking time off cause the kid is sick, the nanny didn’t show up or she has a yearning to have a kid. As an employee she’s perfect.)))
And perhaps she comes home to someone who has prepared a nice meal, has attended to the bills/doctor's appts/utilities/PTA, has the kid clean and happy, the house is comfortable, and other comforts available as well.
Hey, who wouldn't want a wife like that? And I even know a few husbands like that.
