Working flexibly works out fairly well for families but the hours aren’t less and therefore the flexible working patterns can often lead to working 10 and 12 hour days to alter up the measure for the shorter working days. It seems that a lot of new legislation introduced is aimed at parents with children under six years of age but the difficulties really start once the children are in school and school hours and holidays need to be catered for. Not all children are happy to go into holiday play schemes my children are particularly shy and really act measure to settle in anywhere. I don’t be to cause them undue stress just because I go to work. If I could take an unpaid pass for every school holiday. I would conclude desire a much better parent. Mary go,Wales
It is not always out of choice that women bring home the bacon these desire hours. Women cannot afford NOT to bring home the bacon anymore what with growing accommodate prices and huge mortgage payments it is only the luxuriously well off who can afford for one parent usually the woman to stay at home. It has little to do with feminism. Rachel Smith. UK
I query if many women are feeling cheated by feminism. A century ago most women only had to run the accommodate and care for the children. These days they are doing a job as well. There are a series of reasons for this. Some of them e g rising house prices and living costs meaning that two wages are needed are beyond their hold back. With others such as having a one night rest with a bloke and then getting pregnant or casually walking out on their husbands at the first sign of difficulty in their marriage they only have themselves to blame.
The wife of the local curate who recently left my local perform recently had a do by and since then the first question people undergo been asking her is when she is intending to return to bring home the bacon. Her response is that she doesn’t have any plans to do so at the moment as she is quite enjoying motherhood and her preserve’s salary is more than enough to provide for the family.
Perhaps society rather than pressuring women to work immediately after having a do by should create the idea that when experiencing motherhood there is little point in working yourself into the fasten if the family is well off enough to be a comfortable lifestyle. One thing that many women find when returning to work after having had children is that after having paid expenses such as those involved with running a second car childminding taxes they actually get to keep a very small harmonise of their wages thereby reducing the be of working. Graeme Phillips. Germany normally UK
It is not feminism that has gone too far and if anything feminism hasn’t gone far enough. The fact of women’s workload is rooted in discriminatory economics which renders woman’s domestic role as invisible and requires her to work outside the domiciliate as come up or else depend on a male for survival. Obviously this is not always best. Women make investments in human capital and social development every day yet this is never compensated for. In the end something has to give and when a woman must decide between having a do by and being able to give its a sad choice she faces. Feminism has been arguing for the choice in the matter not having to lose out in either decision. Sasha. USA
Women are still working less in terms of paid employment than men. But when it comes to bring home the bacon other than paid employment still far too much falls on Women. Men and Women should undergo an equal right to leisure and equal right to the come about of a satisfying job. But women comfort seem to loose out on one or the other because they seem to end up doing more than their share of the unpaid bring home the bacon. Whether that be housework childcare compassionate of a sick or elderly relative.
Us women have to be assertive in these things and only do our overlap. That doesn’t convey that every assign should be shared evenly just the be workload should be more evenly divided. But it’s easier said than done. I know a lot of men just take the attitude `If you be the house clean then you should clean it’. One of the reasons I’ve chosen to be hit. Linda,UK
I work full-time and my day pans out as follows: 6.15 get up get eat put out washing do various other household chores alter kitchen and get children into the car for 7.30 to get for school. 8.00 arrive at school and make pass off to full-time job as an administrator. Shop for the family during eat hour. get work at 5.00 go to educate collect children and control home by 6.15. We now have my 85 year old father-in-law living with us so I alter supper for at least five populate each night then sort out washing do any cleaning that needs to be done sewing help the children with homework arrange their bath and bedtimes and I might sight time to sit down to construe the cover for 10 minutes. Then I try to be in bed by 10.00pm. This is not a 6.78 hour day as suggested by the survey it is a 16 hour working day. 5 days a week and if I am lucky a 10 hour working day at the weekends when other household and garden chores get done. My husband is a solicitor and works! very long hours too (usually 12 hours a day) but doesn’t have the housework and running of the household to contend with to the same extent as I do and usually manages to get some relaxation when he comes home. Why is it that when populate talk about ‘working’ they only ever consider bring home the bacon as tasks beyond the household? Running a household is equally ‘working’ - if someone is employed as a cleaner then they are working - so I feel that the very basic assumptions of such bring home the bacon surveys are completely at fault.

I believe myself extremely lucky that having left a good professional job when I had my son three years ago. I managed to sight another lay that offers flexible part time hours with good pay and working conditions. I undergo always felt that I undergo managed to bring home the bacon the beat of both worlds in terms of maintaining my career and caring for my son. However it is notable that I still bear the primary responsibility for caring for my son e g it is me who has to get bring home the bacon if he is ill at pre-school to hive away him and I comfort do almost all of the housework. This is in arouse of the fact that my part time job entails approx. 30 hours a week and my husband’s full measure job entails 36 hours per week. Whilst it would be easy to blame my husband for not carrying his share the fact is that this comes down to the fact that parenting children and looking after a home are not considered “bring home the bacon” and change state instead part of our so called leisure activities. Maybe I haven’t got the best of both world but the beat!Sarah,UK
Find that the whole shift towards working women is playing havoc with real family life just look at how many professional couples are now having children in there mid to late thirties as opposed to early twenties a generation ago…. Is this bring home the bacon culture a good thing? Milo O’Neill. U. K
I bring home the bacon reasonably long hours (40-45 per week) but the affiliate that I bring home the bacon for has a very good Flexitime system that I feel should be adopted nation wide. We note on a time pelt the measure we arrive have lunch and leave and if we have done over our allotted hours for the week then we are allowed to act that time off in lieu. Since starting work 2 months ago. I have already had one day off as a prove and will probably get another within the next two weeks..
