forbid she should have to clean her own house. It is just so twee to prance about on your Vespa and yes, widows do wear black tennis frocks, I have seen them.
Do they ever think of anyone but themselves. The must have new sunglasses, the next expensive holiday and the latest ski gear for their little darlings. Oh puleeeze! Its called "Keeping up with the Joneses". Why don’t you take the kids to Calcutta and show them how the other half of the world lives. They might learn something useful, might feel inspired to contribute rather than take, to hope for instead of expect.
Do they ever think about the lack of character they are breeding in their children or their own lack of character? The Stepford Wives.
And it's not just Mosman. Try the Upper North Shore. Their idea of a sea change is Mosman, that darling little village by the harbour. And so much more interesting than Pymble - lots more cafes and much better shopping. Then there's that fabulous car wash on Military Road where you can have a coffee while you get the 4-wheel drive washed and polished. All the mothers gather there to discuss school and what the latest excursion is for little Harry. Amanda of course is going to her first school formal and oh, all the drama of finding the perfect dress. Why they have searched Sydney but nothing is good enough!
No wonder the men end up running off with their secretaries. I really think they buy the 4-wheel drives for their wives, knowing how dangerous they are, secretly hoping they'll have the fatal accident so they can enjoy what is left of their own miserable lives.
Give me freedom, give me death but please don’t give me Mosman.
