I'm one of the many mums who works part-time, and I am also the mum and main carer of my two kids - without a huge amount of help. I try so hard to be good at everything and usually feel like I am not that great at anything. WAH! Oh, and then I tell myself off for wallowing in self-pity when there are so many people worse off than me.

I read your article and agree with quite a bit of it but once you have multiple children the gap of being away from work spent meeting children's needs, mum's needs are pushed that wee bit further down the to do list for that bit longer <br />Also, in some mummy circles, there's a level of competition, of martyrdom, that becomes hard to stomach.<br />I have applied, been interviewed and assessed for "lesser" posts only to be told "we don't think it'll be enough to keep you interested". Frustrating.A mum and more ...https://www.blogger.com/profile/08236194910173933976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360073768146503776.post-86303303907141658182012-02-23T21:49:11.900+00:002012-02-23T21:49:11.900+00:00Thanks for your retweet and feedback.

It's just not possible to do it all and be there for your children. I have written an article on 'What about a mother's needs?' today. http://wp.me/29OasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360073768146503776.post-5354989956013674672012-02-23T20:53:56.388+00:002012-02-23T20:53:56.388+00:00Another WOW!

To me it seems that you ARE incredibly successful, you've taken risks, contributed to the economy, raised two children and kept your marriage in tact. To be it sounds like you do have it all. I agree though about those pukey stories in magazines about glamourous women with top paid jobs who have nannies and cleaners. I hope the sacrifice they have made (their children) is worth all that make up and money. When they are 60 and their children don't want to know them I hope they will feel it is worth it.HMchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678062516663691266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360073768146503776.post-3122806588829792882012-02-23T20:38:09.084+00:002012-02-23T20:38:09.084+00:00Wow!

It is absolutely mad to think that as a trained accountant, you ended up stacking shelves in a supermarket so you could help ends meet. Nothing wrong with shelf-stacking of course, but what a waste of your talents - and income potential - thanks to a society that doesn't give mother's the support they need. <br /><br />Your freestyle is incredibly powerful, especially the bit about being spoon fed this idea that you can do it all.mother.wife.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06882290265375573483noreply@blogger.com
