Seeing Other People (2014)
“In the end however the answer to my problem came from a completely unexpected source: a conversation with one of the kids. It was a weeknight and I’d just arrived home from work to hear chaos reigning in the kitchen. Rosie was in floods of tears, Penny was nowhere to be seen and Jack was sitting alone on the stairs in his pyjamas.
‘What’s going on?’ Jack ran to me and jumped into my arms. ‘Mum’s just really told Rosie off and now Rosie’s crying and Mum’s got her angry face on and is sitting in ...the living room.’ ‘Why?
