what are your plans? do you aim to mostly be a housewife or career oriented or both?
please no long essays.. or if you wanna write an essay just answer the questions briefly first and then write.
i'm just really curious about how this turns out. so i dont want to sift through essays because i may not be able to get a clear idea of your experience/desires

1) My mother is not a housewife.
2) She has never been one.
3) She has always been involved in a career.
4) She has always worked out of necessity, but she would not be happy staying at home either. She told me that if she did not have to work for money she would get involved in lots of voluntary work.
I used to think I wanted a glittering career. After finishing university and getting married, and working a couple of jobs, my priorities changed. I do still want to work, because I want to fulfil my potential, but a career is not the most important thing in the world to me. I am working full time at the moment, but that's mainly for financial reasons. ( If I found my dream job, that would be different). But now with the baby on the way I don't plan on working for at least a year after the baby's born. After that I would probably work part-time (and preferably freelance) until he/she / any other children who come along - start school.
