Wondering how Ed Balls thinks the rest of us cope

his twitter post this morning:

on the way to Cabinet… 9am start not v family-friendly… Thank good ness for grandparents…

So school isn’t family friendly, business isn’t family friendly, working in a shop isn’t family friendly, in fact, pretty much the whole working world isn’t family friendly.

Well, glad we’ve got that sorted then. Looking forward to hearing the government’s solution.

  5. Presumably he thinks it’s not family friendly BECAUSE of school. I doubt he sees school as an unwelcome impingement on family life, like we do… 😉

  6. I note that he was also milking this on his way home at about 10.30pm – on Tuesdays the children are asleep when he leaves, and asleep when he gets home… Oh, it’s a hard life for Ed. (And it sounds like a DCSF Alert (possible parental negligence) to me!)

  7. Oh, poor Ed. How hard his life must be….a 9 a.m. start. My heart bleeds 🙂
