Me: complains about the cost of childcare
Boss’ wife: You should just get an au pair!
Me: Um, au pairs need their own room.
Boss’ wife: Don’t your kids share a room? You can give her the spare bedroom.
Me: There is NO spare bedroom.
Boss’ wife: Well, you could repurpose the playroom, or the office.
Me: Yes, we could, if we had them. But we have NO spare bedrooms!
She just couldn’t wrap her head around the idea of a family of four living in mere two bedrooms. Certainly there is a wine cellar or a hobby room or a stargazing room, or something!
