As a mother of a big family my children are the center of my world. I’m there in the morning to take them to school, and I’m there in the evening to tuck them up in bed. I’ve stood freezing on the sidelines of countless rugby matches, and sat in the audience at endless dance recitals. I taught my children how to ride a bike, how to swim; I help them with homework. I know my story as a full-time parent and a busy working mum is no different to the stories of thousands of other women out there.
