Do You Ever Feel GUILTY? If So, What About?
`I feel guilty if my house has not been hoovered from top to bottom twice a week. If my house is a mess, I am a mess and that upsets me.’
Joy, 4i, general assistant business proprietor/care assistant
`I worry all the time that I am doing neither job (parenting/paid work) well, although I’m told the opposite.’
Jackie, 36, accounts clerk/estate agent
`Yes, I did feel guilty when I worked part time. I was not really satisfied with any task, whether at home or at work. Now my day at work is rewarding and I am less tired than when I worked 9.3o am to 3 pm, when I never seemed to be in the right place at the right time!’
Lynda, 41, marketing executive
`I think I do all right. Sometimes I feel guilty when Katy rings me to say goodnight. I feel I should be tucking her up in bed instead of blowing her a kiss down the phone’
Irene, 42, hotelier
`No, I think I do both jobs well. I just look hellish sometimes.’
Lynne, 33, publisher/public relations consultant
`No. I’m much happier working part time. I feel I have the best of both worlds’
Pauline, 31, paediatric endocrine nurse specialist
`I think I am a selfish person and I enjoy my four hours a day at work and my leisure time. I also work hard at home and have a clean and happy household. I spend enough time with the girls and I don’t think they miss out on things — although I quite often have guilty feelings about not doing enough for them, and perhaps I should be a more dedicated mother.’
Susan, 37, WP operator/clerk
`I feel I’ve put a lot of pressure on my partner because I’m studying for a degree (although we discussed it beforehand) and I feel guilty about that.’
Lynne, 33, student
`Of course I feel guilty. Show me a woman who doesn’t and I’ll show you a slab of granite.’
Sharon, 33, design manager
`No, I don’t really feel guilty. I’m a better mother for working. I love the company of my children and sometimes give thanks for how “normal” they are compared to many that I come across at school.’
Sue, 36, deputy head teacher
