Advantages: Wider horizons for mum and financial independence in working. Disadvantages: Women can feel trapped at home.
Staying at home or going to work as mums-this is probably one of the most difficult decisions many of us have to make, and there are no right answers. I want to talk about this from the perspective of a mum who has brought up two sons and two daughters, the youngest of whom is now 17.
In the 1950's this was never really the massive issue it has become today. Women in many cases just expected to be at home raising children, and of course caring for the home.

The film opens with the entire McCallister family packing for their Christmas vacation to France. The family is exceptionally big, some 30 plus including adults.
