She was abandoned by her mother at the age of nine and wanted her own kids to have a more secure upbringing. <BR/><BR/>Most people accept her decision, but she still gets flak from some people who think that she should be back in full time work at the earliest opportunity. If she wanted to do this, I would respect her wishes, but at the moment she's happy trying to give two boys a decent start in life and I wish that there wasn't a stigma about doing this. <BR/><BR/>Surely Feminism was about giving women a choice; not making them wage slaves of the consumer society.Steerforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627936539372313828noreply@blogger.com
