totally agree with VanessaPMR! Treating mothers like (unpaid) slaves really upsets me too:) Sorry for the digression and maybe we should open another thread but I arrived in this country two years ago and I am amazed at the fact that women have to give up their jobs and social identities to be housewives just because there is not other way (or so everybody seems to pressure them to think so). I met many mothers lately and although some seem happy to take care of their children full time, some are clearly unhappy. Is there any kind of feminist movement in this country?
