Hi All,  My son is in year 4 and has bad spelling. It's so bad and so incomprehensible.

Is she happy? Was it worth it? Their recent interview showed that they supported each other through their excit...

Re: Split of responsibilities with your partner

In our family, working at home carries the same weight as working away from the home. From 7 -7pm my husband goes to the office and is the main breadwinner.
