Today presenter John Humphrys is quoted in The Times this morning talking about his ex-wife -

"Humphrys describes Wilding as “about as near perfect a mother as you can get” – a woman who “got pregnant and said, ‘I’m stopping work and I won’t start work again until the children – however many there may be – are in university.’ And she never did.”

Because that's how to be a perfect mother?! Oh gawd, my DD has no chance....

Thank you Lass. I'm quite confused by that poster's comments!

Meh.

I can't bring myself to be outraged. Humphrys is at least 70. I would expect a man of his age to have a different idea to me of what makes a good mother.
