How many of you mums feel responsible for contributing to your household? Is maternity pay good enough that you can stay longer at home? What happens when maternity is finished, and you feel like your lifestyle might suffer because you only have one income?

In many cases, mothers have to return to work because with the new way of living, inflation, and the percentage of rates going higher we feel that we have to return to work even if we don't really want to. It happened to me too when we invested all our savings and because I was a salon owner, I had a lot of overheads to pay I had to return when my daughter was only 10 days old.

However fast forward a few years now I chose to work from home around my children.

Here are the highlights:

{01:19} One income it's not enough for the lifestyle we want.

{03:25} My husband's paternity was better paid than my self-employed statuary maternity pay.

{06:18} It's still such an old fashion way of being a mum.

{08:40} You should decide for yourself and you should have a right to make that decision.
