Tracey,

I think that your a great mum. I think its a personal choice and if it happens that you have to work or chose to work then whose business is it other than your own. I agree with Shellbell, women should be more understanding of each other and be more supportive . I think every mother, SAHM or working fulltime has issues and problems, but also find joys and happiness in different things. Its what fits best for your family and what is the best for your family.

I'm coming to the sad realisation that people who often question your decisions are really questioning their own choices and they are jealous that you have been strong enough to reach that particular decision!

So maybe Tracey your sister is just jealous that your together enough to realise what is best for your family, and that maybe she missed that boat

Its so annoying that other people must make comment on things they don't really know anything about! And being your own sister makes it a bit worse...oh and your mum standing up for her!
