That is an excellent point about being in a secondary role, Magnus. Peggy doesn't have the amount of responsibility that Nancy does, and can relax more. A grown up example is how effortless holiday trips used to be with my parents. Nothing for me to worry about - my father would and could deal with any problems. It is quite different now when I am the one making sure of the tire pressure in the caravan's tires, and watching the temperature gauge and dealing with traffic. It was much easier to just be along for the ride.
