 How much are daughters affected by their own mothers?
If your mother works, does that mean, as a woman, you’ll be keen to carve out a career for yourself and earn your own money following her influence? Or might it affect you the opposite way, so that if you become a mother yourself, you’ll take the counter attitude and decide to stay home for your children instead of allowing them to become a latch-key kid as you were? How does our desire to have a job and earn our own money, or marry and be supported financially, vary according to the influence of our mothers? Three female generations from the same family join Jenni to compare views – journalist Diana Appleyard, her mother and former teacher, Pam Moulds, and 20 year old zoology student Beth Appleyard. |
