Julie Jay: I yearn for the days when it was illegal for women to work

Yes, shifting your husband is nice, but have you ever unclogged a shower drain? 

"Only time will tell from whence Ted’s disapproval truly stems but either way, his thumbs down when I leave for work versus his outright encouragement of Darling Husband going off to do comedy bits smacks of sexism."

Feminism is one of the ideologies I hold most dear. I say that, but every now and again - usually when I get a ‘not sure if you got my last email’ note from my accountant while simultaneously trying to peel Ted from the playground gate - I yearn for the days when it was illegal for women to work.

Sometimes I love work, and other times it’s - meh. Still, I can’t get by on my model good looks alone, so it is necessary to say ‘yes’ to capitalism again and again in a bid to earn a crust.
