I know a couple of footy teams that loved yer mum back in the day too.
No wonder I have teh amazingly brilliant sproting prowess that I do!
Awesome.
Now run along and eat a pie or several shopgirl.
Isn't our unwillingness to value to a mum's work due feminism not being embraced, rather than feminism failing us? Aren't we simply continuing to devalue domestic roles, and insist that women with options put a 'tick in every box' by raising gifted kids/career/22 inch waist/shiny managable hair. When women find themselves unsupported or forgotten in domestic roles, don't we jump up and down telling them they have the choice to do whatever, so shut up and thank your husband he let you be a feminist?
It just hasn't ever been part of the model. Being a mum was a job before the concept of paid work (as opposed to fulfilling survivial instinct) was even around.
How do you value it? What do we pay?
Personally my belief is that the private home shold become a tax deduction AND capital gains free. That way if you need a bigger house to support a bigger family you get a bigger tax break which can then be used on kids or recognition of mothers.
Of course,it also means that rich people with big arse expensive houses also benefit, but hey, I'm one of them so no problem there.
Equally we* have to do more cleaning given the size of the place so there's a downside there.
Gah, too thirsty to formulate thoughts.
since when has your level of thisrt been a determinant in this?
