Thinking of this while I plan this month's after-school care, gymnastics drop-off, and meal roster.

Alas, they forget to take her on most outings and few pictures are taken. Annabel has a column and two speeches to write, but Chiquita is due back tomorrow. So she finally gets some pics and races to the photo shop which has gone out of business.

Chiquita Syndrome: we don't want to be the mum that returns the Chiquita book blank because mum was too busy to organise it.
Chiquita is a typicall example of 'wife work'. Utterly invisible but significant to the wellbeing of a family.
