I answered it but came away irritated. Is it just me?

I had a problem with question no 5 for example:

  1. Why do you have childcare?
  • Because I don't like looking after the children myself full time
  • Because I'm busier than ever and don't have any time
  • It gives me more time to spend at work/working from home
  • I think that a nanny can give my children skills and guidance that I can't
  • It gives me time to look after myself
  • It gives me quality time to spend with my kids

Wella ctually I use a child carer becasue I Have to work as well as quite liking going to work.I don't send my DD to a chilcarer just so I can spend more time at work. I've reduced my hours so I now only work 3 days a week to be with my kids.

Did anyone else read it / fill it out and feel a bit irritated by it?

Oh sorry. I did have a quick look to see if I could see anything but didn't spot it. Thank you.

I haven't read it but from the sounds of that question it was probably written by a single man!!! either that or a powerdriven woman with no children!!!
