Could you go back to being a Full-time Mother?
`No, I think all women need to spend time doing and thinking about things unrelated to children. I appreciate that some women may not think this way, but Ifeel that you are a person in your own right, not just somebody’s mum.’
Jackie, 36, accounts clerk/estate agent
`If we win the Lottery perhaps. Yes, I could, especially when both boys are at school. I would like to do my own thing during school hours and be therefor them when they come home.’
Judy, 37, lecturer/musician
`I couldn‘t go back to being a full-time mother. I value my independence and love being in the working environment. I love dressing smartly and would not make so much effort if I did not work.’
Gillian, 48, accounts manager
`No, I need to work. Looking back, my mother didn’t and when we’d grown up, she had nothing.’
