Would you rather have a high-flying but stressful career, or give it all up for a life of domestic bliss? According to the Daily Mail, a new generation of 'feminist housewives' are choosing to stay at home after university and raise children, rather than climbing the career ladder.
"There's a kind of radicalism about stay-at-home mums that's emerging,' says Justine Roberts, one of the founders of the influential parenting website mumsnet.com. "Whereas some women used to hate saying they were full-time mothers, there's a trend towards giving up work and being out and proud about it. It's not a thing to be ashamed of any more."
A surprising 52 per cent of mothers return to work because they cannot afford to stay at home, according to a survey by price comparison website uswitch.com, and apparently only 22 per cent actually want to go back to work after having a child.
What do you think? Would you give up work after having children to be a full-time mum?
