It makes you less selfish as you don't have an option. Your life is no longer your own anymore. You sleep your last good night's sleep before children and you never sleep quite so soundly again. Even when they are teenagers you can't relax until they are safely home in bed. I can't think of any great sacrifice. They enriched my life. They opened my eyes and I thanked them when they let me go to The Village People or to see E.T.

Affordable childcare for all people wherever they might live. If we continue like this working at a ridiculous pace, we have to help parents and what relieves the stress in a father's or mother's mind is knowing their child is being cared for. Proper childcare would eliminate a lot of the problems now. These poor unruly kids who are home alone by themselves watching TV... If we continue encouraging men and women to work, and to have children, we have to think about how to properly care for them.

They have had the lecture! I thought ‘I'm going to be 100 before I'm a grandmother.' But Ben has just got a dog and so at least I'm now a grandmutter. I told both kids the other day that when they have children, I will take them away travelling around the world to give them a break and they both looked at me and sort of said ‘Oh'... ‘But we'd like to come to'.

I never think like that. You can't change anything. Everything you've done makes you the person you are today. When something seems like a disaster, you keep going and then, lo and behold, something wonderful happens. And then, you think, ‘If that disaster hadn't happened, this next thing wouldn't have happened.' I never think about ‘If I could', because I can't.

I don't think so. Kate left when she was 25 and Ben didn't leave until he was 27 and I was beginning to think he would never leave at all. He finished his PhD and he said, ‘I'm going to move in with my best mate'. I said, ‘That'd be nice'. And then I said, ‘What about your bed? Why don't you take the bed?' He said, ‘No. It's yours ... I've got my swag'. And I said, ‘Take the bed, I bought it for you'. He's six foot four so I bought him a double bed. The bed went with him and he never returned.

Ironing without a doubt. It's very dreary. When I think about ironing, I turn on the TV and find a sloppy movie. It's the only way. Years ago, when I needed some household help, I thought about what I needed the most help with and I had all my husband's shirts and all the baby things that needed ironing and I paid someone to do it and that was liberating.

I don't ask a lot of people for help. I tend to soldier on. That might be ridiculous. I tend to think I can cope. My Aunt Billy is 90 and she was very supportive. I did ask her advice. She is a special aunt. She would sometimes care for the kids if I had to go away for work. They loved her.
