Read the texts and match them with the headings. there is one extra title. i stayed at home until the youngest started school and then i went back to work part-time. the extra money was very helpful but i found it exhausting coping with the house and my job. what amazes me is how people cope working full-time, looking after a home and bringing up children. i am surrounded by people like this where i now live. they have big houses, new cars, fancy clothes, they refurnish every couple of years or so, take numerous holidays. but when are they actually at home to enjoy all this? from 6.30 am the cars start leaving. kids are woken up at some early hour, then driven through busy traffic to be dropped off at the child minder. the parent then has to travel to work. what happens if there is a blip in this tight schedule? what if the child has a tantrum or the car won't start? then in the evenings the process starts again in reverse. the kids are picked up from school where they are in an after school club, then put to bed almost as soon as they get home. everyone is exhausted. where is the benefit to all this? a) the perfect job b) never bored c) exhausting for all d) money or time? e) a role reversal f) free evenings
