"I have been a Domestic CEO all this time"

NATASHA GALSTAUN, a 43-year-old former interior designer turned stay-at-home mum, stated in a weekend broadsheet recently that, “running a home is just like running a multi-national”.

I read this while sitting up in bed last on a Sunday morning, and dear oh dear, I’ve been all in a spin ever since. B; between you and me, you see, I’ve always held very stoutly to the opinion (based on 25twenty-five years years of running a home, and a firm belief in calling a spade a spade) that running a home is just like running a home.

And, as if this statement didn’t nearly make me drop my coffee all over the duvet, Gallstone — oops, sorry — Galstaun then expounded a theory about motherhood, which seemed to suggest that there is no such thing as a stay-at-home-mum, not anymore anyway.
