A good friend/neighbour, rings up several times a week to tell me how brilliant every member of her family is, how they are constantly in touch and not a day goes by without one visiting. If I see her out it’s just the same, this has been particularly bad the last five years or so and I dread the phone going or the door bell ringing, visits are always with loads of photos. Not complaining about my family, but we don’t see each other much and I don’t want to hear this.
Should women have equal pay and opportunities?
