W: have you got the kids for 5 minutes while I do my makeup
M: yeah fine
W: I've got to do my makeup
M: I said it was fine
W: don't be like that. I never get any time to do my makeup
M: (20 minutes later) I need to go as I'm going to be late again.
W: I've got to do my makeup so I can drop the kids off and get to work.
M: I know but to do my hours and get home in time to help with bedtime I can't leave this late. And I'm late nearly everyday.
W: well its really hard for me
M: well we need to come up with a better plan then because at the moment I'm defrauding my employer.
W: just go then.
