    As i always say,mothers shouldn’t work because they have got lots of “responsibility” about their children..now,you can say fathers have got lots of responsibility but they are difference…for example,mothers have to cook and they also have to care about their children’s education…i say ”care about education” that means they have to go their school and talk their teachers…i don’t say mothers have to pay their education’s expense..this is father’s job so fathers have to earn money … anyway,this is like traditon in Turkey you know…the girls learn cooking,baby care from their mothers and we learn earning money from our fathers…how can mothers earn money ?? they have already overloaded with house work !!! we can earn money,you can do the other things…mothers are angels

    note : but when they cook,clean the house,give money (: …

    Thanks a lot …

    Dear Hakan,
    we studied todays lesson. just read Task 1 :
    Two recent studies have come up with the same result, 40 per cent of the mothers who stay at home with children under five are depressed. In their research, Doctor Michael Rutter and Doctor Steward Prince have shown that depressed mothers produce depressed, neurotic and backward children. They say that even mothers who are not depressed may feel exhausted and overloaded with the unending repetitive task of caring for a baby and that these mothers get less pleasure from their children than they might due to this overload. A full-time mother at home is very likely to feel imprisoned and depressed. Therefore, Rutter and Prince are afraid that she will be psychologically very damaging to her child. It is evident that withdrawal of attention is more harmful to children than physical absence. The recent studies said that so excuse me Hakan they are experts and you are not. Thanks for reading.

    you say like me .. ” overloaded” i don’t say that they always do house work,stay in the home … they have to go out in their free time or they can take on a cleaner.After that,they can go out…think like that they have got children,they work in a company what will they do ?!?! if they do i said,they will be depressed … believe me … finally,i didn’t say i am expert and i think you can write your thinking … you can succeed,i believe you , don’t copy again (: …

    You always tell same things. We sent you experts results. In our opinion you should give your attention to the text. We gave you 2nd change for reading but you didn’t understand. If families can take on a cleaner why mothers shouldn’t work? We know some people. Parents are working and cleaner does houseworks. Also why mothers stay at home? They can’t be happy but you don’t understand it. So please read our comment and think about it. Just think that you are always at home, always cleaning and taking care a baby. How will you feel?

    Hi guys! I think that mothers will work because they need to developed themselves for their children.Some people say that mothers doesn’t has to work but i think they should work.We didn’t remember that they are people,not washing machines,not babysister and not maid..If they work,they will be a far- sighted person and understand to their children

    Congratulations Buse,
    Firtly you defend mother shouldn’t work but now you are right in your idea. And i want to add something on:
    When we sad women have to work for their future the other group answered us ” mothers may finish university but they don’t need a job”. But everyone know that if you don’t work you will certainly forget all about your job. Also employers want experienced employments.
    Have a good holiday my friends 🙂

    cem&tankut…If your wifes work,u will understand me … I understand u very well but you don’t because we are talking about same things but there is only one diffrence thing … it is working.. you say If they don’t work they will be depressed bla bla bla… I say If they work they will be depressed,they have to go to shopping mall,they have to buy sth. 😉 …but If they work,they don’t have any free time because they work and they care about their children…
    Finally,I think mothers are angel so we have to respect greatly them and we don’t have to adopt when they say ” i want to work ” because they need go shopping and gossip 🙂 ….
