Housework
This week's episode may not seem like the most tantalising of topics, but according to Bev there is nothing sexier than a man doing, yes, housework!Housework is, for the vast majority of us, an integral part of our day-to-day existence; a dull but necessary part of life. Whether you love it or hate it, this week's episode provides a funny and interesting take on a not-so-funny-or-interesting subject. Bev and Marina talk ironing (Bev recommends a G&T to help with those creases), hoovering (luckily for Marina, Ben loves it), cleaning up after our children, and going on holiday with friends whose standards of tidiness somewhat conflict with our own. They also discuss whether society still reinforces the idea that women should take on the bulk of the housework, and how the issue of division of labour at home can have damaging effects on our relationships.Do you carry out your household chores with grace or do you, like Bev, turn into the Wicked Witch of the West whenever you have a laundry basket in your hands? Perhaps you treat yourself to a weekly cleaner who, like Marina, you practically throw your arms around in gratitude every time they arrive? In terms of making life As Good As It Gets when it comes to housework, maybe the key is to simply take comfort in the fact that you are not alone!
