I don't know how expecting children to iron clothes and make their own packed lunch from the age of 10 equates with being a good/bad mother. Loving and caring for them, in whatever manner you choose, is what matters, and as one or two posters have mentioned, hot irons and children, not a good combination.
Lack of public toilets in towns.
Passports not in the drawer I always keep them in. Turning the place upside down.
