Madeline: How are you doing guys? any news?
Harrison: I'm fine, but super busy at work these days
Robert: I'm ok! you?
Madeline: Not bad, when are we going to see each other again? I miss you guys!
Robert: and where?
Harrison: I live in Berlin now, Robert in Sevilla, are you at least still in Edinburgh?
Madeline: Yes, I think I'll never move from here, too settled 
Harrison: Maybe we could meet in some warm place, like Malta?
Robert: or at my place in Spain?
Madeline: It can be a bit difficult for me with the kids. Do you hate Edinburgh so much?
Harrison: It's not about Edinburgh. I hate winter and rain. I want some SUN finally 
Harrison: Can't you take Tom and kids to sevilla?
Madeline: Actually I could probably, the problem is that it's always difficult for Tom to give on holiday
Madeline: and I don't work right now, taking care of the kids
Harrison: I can't believe it. Such a feminist once, such a housewife now!
Madeline: I know 😅 but it's rather a coincidence 
Robert: What do you mean?
Madeline: Tom was on paternity leave but then I lost the job, so it just happened 
Madeline: and as a programmer he earns much better than I ever could 
Robert: sure
Madeline: a separate question is how much there is structural inequality in all of this
Madeline: you see! We have to meet and talk, spend some time together. Free me from this housewife's prison
Robert: Talk to Tom first, then we will know what the situation is
Madeline: ok!
Harrison lives in Berlin now and he's been busy at work lately. Robert setlled in Sevilla and Madeline in Edinburgh. Madeline lost her job and she is a housewife now. She will talk to her husband, Tom, about going to Sevilla with kids to meet Robert and Harrison.
