Alex gets away with all that because he tells Meme it's not that he puts all responsabilities onto her, but it's that he doesn't mind delegating and it's up to Meme to do the same. Therefore, if Meme is left with the responsability to take Alexa to school everyday, it's Meme's choice, not Alex's fault.
Remember, Alex likes to preach that everything is in your control and you always have a choice in life.
Remember that before even being pregnant Meme would brag how a kid wouldn't change anything to their lifestyle, because she thought she had it all figured out already
Well, Alex HAD it figured out clearly, and the secret is quite simply : delegate. I believe Alex never pretended wanting to be present 24/7 as a dad, I believe he always had this delusional idea of nothing would change FOR HIM. I'm sure he wouldn't mind having Alexa into a boarding school while he keeps travelling to Cape Town, LA, and Bimboland. I think Meme had a completely different view of parenting before being pregnant. She thought she would be this super mama carrying her kid everywhere to places. But it didn't happen. Instead, as Meme herself spoke about, she felt lonely, she looked miserable at times, they argued about parenting with Alex, she felt stuck at home having to breastfeed all day on demand, for at least two years. But then why have they never put Alexa into regular activity groups? Why this obsession of keeping Alexa out of all "normal" system??? Just to say you're full time mama AND entrepreneur?? Half assing both roles in the meantime.
Meme has never seemed more like herself since having Alexa full time in school. She would probably not be taking Alexa off school as much were they living in a sunny place, with a present husband.

They have actually visited Bath. I know... shocking!
I don't think they know that really nice pubs do exist, and that they often have very good vegetarian options as well, and that they are a testimony to the rich British history.
