For young women in Britain happiness and the desire to spend time with their children and on themselves are top priorities, a survey published today suggests - even at the cost of reduced career ambitions and a lower income.

A very interesting and thought provoking article. Dose this signal the end of the INDIPANDANT CAREER ORENTATED WOMAN / GIRL-POWER ?

It is interesting that young women today are putting the development of their children before a big salary or a high-powered career. Personally I see this as a step in the right direction as I believe that the task connected with the home are the fundamental tasks of humanity. The mother is essential to human life, she is the primary protector of her child’s health education, intellect, personality, character and emotional stability. One of a mother’s many function is that of educator of children. Many women face the challenge to teach their children during the crucial formative years and need to provide financially for their families. This survey indicates a return to the values of old.

As a parent myself I want my child to grow into an adult with a sense of morality and responsibility, someone who is considerate of others, who is adaptable and who has a positive spirit. That is something that only I can teach him, so I now work part-time and give him 100%.

I have no regrets.
