did you go back to work ?

I have two friends who married , had their children and never had paid work afterwards. One played a big part in bringing up her granchildren but the other was just a housewife and church flower arranger. I could never have done this . I did not go back to work until my children were in high school but loved going out and having a role apart from mother and wife. It also added to the family finances , I only worked part time , and paid my insurance so got almost a full OAP plus a small pension from work so it helped in retirement too .
