in THE PUB OR, worse, THE ESTATE AGENT?
Angelina is furious with Brad for boozing and smoking with George Clooney, and Madonna wishes she could keep Guy out of the pub. It’s good to know even superwomen have trouble keeping their men in line.
Personally I can deal with the odd lost weekend. It’s not as if Madonna has to worry about Guy staggering back home on a Friday night having spent all the housekeeping while she and the wee ones make do with bread and dripping.
The British middle-class version of the absentee spouse is far worse and goes like this: husband makes his pile and ships wife and
children out to their dream house in Gloucestershire, keeping a discreet pied a terre in town. While wife by degrees grows horsier and frumpier, husband, making full use of his company’s gym facilities and an energising three nights a week in London, retains his waistline and sense of purpose. Ten years later, she wakes up to find she’s 50 and about to be traded in for a younger model, and he’s introducing the kids to their delightful new stepmother.
