SYDNEY mother-of-two Melissa Blackley  is so obsessed with work that she doesn't know what her children eat for lunch and hasn't cooked dinner in two years.

She maintains her relationship with her partner of 18 years John Anderson via email. And each day the couple run a "dutch auction" to decide which parent will take daughter India, 11, to violin lessons or go to eight-year-old Holly's extra-curricular activities.

In fact, the high-powered sales executives are so focused on work that neither of them knows what time their children go to school. Mr Anderson said he only has "a pretty good idea" of the school's location.
