No, no prizes for juggling, but we were of necessity very, very organised; maybe that was hard on the children sometimes, but it is a pretty useful life skill and they didn't struggle with managing to look after themselves at university as some of their friends did. They also remember the fun things we did together, Alison.
I would also just say that CB was talking about a very small group of people the "yummy-mummies" who are not very significant to the rest of us, though they may be to some of the audience at the lunch where she made the speech. I have met a few whom I believe could be said to belong to the category, observed them (and listened in because I am dead nosey) and my impression that the group she is talking about do not, on the whole, devote themselves to childcare and the home. They have nannies and cleaners so that they can shop and go to the gym. Husbands appear to be something in the City and the wives are busy spending the bonuses. I suspect it was a very minor part of the speech and maybe a bit ill-advised knowing how the press would react and the feelings it would stir up.
