Description

I Love You but… How to Stop Doing More Than Your Share of the HouseworknBy Christine Beckett nnIt’s a proven fact: women do twice the amount of housework that men do – two hours to their one – an extra 14 hours per week! Over the course of an average working life, this adds up to about 40,000 more hours of work than he does. Enough time to gain a masters degree! In I love you but…New Zealand author Christine Beckett takes a comical yet long, hard look at the serious domestic inequality that still thrives in most households today. The effects of this servitude extend well beyond the home front, but the good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. Drawing on her extensive experience as an accountant and, more recently, as general manager of a substantial company, Beckett applies proven business methodology to the problem. The results, based on a Mission Statement for your relationship followed by a Business Plan, an Organization Chart and Position Descriptions, are highly entertaining as well as being seriously thought provoking. Armed with these revealing (and damning) documents, women can now accurately estimate just what they try to fit into their day and, most importantly, begin to redefine the parameters of their relationships in a way that causes minimum friction and elicits maximum co-operation. Currently enjoying a midlife crisis, Christine Beckett also finds time for contract accounting work studying psychology and writing more books. This is her first book.nnPaperback,1997 , 190pages, very good condition
