Subject: My wife now has an office of her own, and I'm not welcome there
| 'The oldest one moved out and in record time my wife had commandeered his former bedroom to work in … alone' I am sitting in my office at the end of the garden when an email arrives from my wife, in the house. The subject line says: "You are invited to come and see my new chair." The message itself has no content. When the oldest one first suggested he might move out, my wife made plain her intentions to commandeer a bedroom as an office. She'd been working at a table behind the living room door for several years, where she considered herself insufficiently cut off from the rest of us. |
