Dad could take it over on his day of and on Sunday. Slxteen-year~ old Sue could take it over two or three days out of the week. and ls. year-old Phil could handle 1t the remainder of the week.
 The job probably wouldn't be done as well as the home manager could do it. But the family would get by-and mother would get the vacation she is entitled to.
