Totally with you on the ‘full time mum’ thing. Probably something the vileness that is The Daily Mail made up anyway.
]]>But then we do have a tendency to do ourselves down – I often say “I’m just a mum” even though that fails to describe me almost totally!
]]>When I first saw that term, I had already had my son and was confused as to what it meant. I figured even if you have shared custody, you are still a full time mum. I had found it offensive that if I decided to, or needed to return to work, people would potentially see me as a part time mum. I dislike labels at the best of times but you are right, this is the worst one!
PS – I too was the proud Take That fan with a secret love of East 17!
