Do you Feel you Have Sacrificed More or Less by Having a CAREER?
`I have little time for myself, but the children are only young and so demanding for a short time. I plan to take up other hobbies when they are older.’
`I think I have sacrificed less personally, but as it contributed to my divorce, my son has to cope with a lot. However, now that I have graduated with a first-class degree, he sees me as something of a “role model”.’
Sheila, 31, guidance development assistant/part-time student
`I feel I’ve got everything, a great job, wonderful family, but often I am so tired I can hardly speak. I need another few hours in the day.’
Karen, 28, caterer
`I don’t have much time for myself, but am a 100 per cent better person for going out to work to when I stayed at home. Someone once said that children are a gift, and you should give up everything for them. They didn’t have children.’
Michele, 31, secretary (more…)
