First this week we talked to Jack Kelly, who lives in Brussels, gives us a husband’s view of wife’s job.

Jack says…

My wife’s got a good job but she has to travel a lot, both here and abroad. She doesn’t have to work long hours. She can only work for twenty minutes at a time and then she has to have a break of at least an hour. She has to prepare a lot before she starts work. She meets a lot of interesting people. She’s met a lot of politicians. She’s well-paid, although she doesn’t get a regular salary.

Some month she earns a lot, and others very little. She says it’s very stressful but satisfying and also, she doesn’t have to work full-time so she can spend more time with me and our children.
