  1. I love home..and domesticity...but I love work too. The trick in modern times is getting the balance right. Not always easy...
  2. I'd go slowly mad. thank God for womens lib that's all I can say.
  3. the way I see it children are the ultimate source of emotional stress (parental guilt/worrying about their future/hurting on their behalf/parental instinct to protect) and the ultimate source of pleasure (parental pride/joy/love) Take the critters out of the equation and the net result would be a more stable emotional state. But the highs make up for the lows... I wouldn't question or feel sorry for childless couples, I think they have much to be thankful for and the lifestyle must be very different... Having children doesn't equal fulfillment...I think a lot of people think it does..it somehow completes a woman and for many people that's the case but not the be all and end all.. Easy to say as a mother of 2 though I guess....I know my childless SIL doesn't think her lifestyle is 'all that', longs for children but unlikely to happen now...
  4. Definitely. Overthinking it. No-one could ever afford to have kids. If you really want them, have them..the rest will sort itself out.
  5. It's not your place to get miffed though. What's it to you? Citizenship is a 2 way street, do you think for one minute the Australian Government is doing this out of kindness to Poms? Or anyone else...it's mutually beneficial. Australias economy and growth is dependent on skilled migrants. If it weren't for overseas GPs/nurses/police/firefighters/and a host of other skilled professionals etc we'd be right in the poop. Not to mention overseas born citizens who go into the military. Those contributors to Australian society may have different views about what Citizenship is to them. The majority do it for various reasons I'd say..not least for the sense of belonging...but what's in it for the Australian government and society as a whole??Lots. The country depends on it....only natural for citizens to ask 'what's in it for me?' as part of the overall though process.
  6. Congratulations to you and Happy Australia Day
  7. Ours was on Australia Day last year however it was a huge outdoor ceremony for over 700 new citizens. It was hot too. I wore a lightweight summer knee length dress that I would class as smart casual. Husband wore smart trousers and shirt. Son wore shirt and shorts. Daughter wore nice top and trousers. Id say most were smart casual.
