I agree with bits of everyones comments.

Food for thought:

Feminists fought/fight for womens rights to work (and equal pay) education etc. Feminism turned the tables on the "oppressed" typical stay at home mum attitude. Now we are complaining about having to work?

I don't agree or disagree it's just food for thought- plz don't hold it against me.

Also, 40 years ago we fought for the 8 hour working day, in a time where the working hours were 12-14 hours a day maybe longer. We are now asking to work less again? I wonder if mums in the workforce play a role in the fact that men now work less hours, so they are home to eat dinner with their family?

We fight for parental leave but scream blue murder at higher taxes...... The money has to come from somewhere.

I don't know, we are a lucky country to have the conditions we do and we are never going to be truly happy with what we do have. It's unfortunate that the cost of living is so high and many families live at the poverty line.

I find it hard to get a set opinion because of the above, I like to see both sides but then can never agree on either side.
