Talk To Your Girl 'Suzanne the Woman'
I have been having some trouble these last few days, my husband has been wanting me to work! now, as a woman living with her 5 children, how on earth does he expect me to do something like that?! That's just preposterous. Anyway. I need your advice on how to talk to him.
With much love, Elizabeth'
Dear Elizabeth,
I have heard of a lot of different situations such as yours. Because of this, I know exactly how to handle your stubborn husband! Silly men, they do not understand the struggles of a mother. This means that you need to show him just how busy you really are. let him know all of your concerns and if he disagrees, let him take care of the kids for a day!
your's truly, Suzanne the Woman
