I don't know.Whatever my decision, I would like to see Bush

Meet
the 3Cs, the present day Superwomen (Go
To Top)
London:
She has a career, cash and kids, meet the present day's
'Superwoman' equipped with her three Cs, ready to rule the
world. The term coined by author Shirley Conran in the 1970s
is the most befitting one to describe the all-conquering
female species, a new breed distinguished by the fact that
she has children, a career and lots of cash. A new survey
conducted by Egg, an online bank, has revealed that more
than a quarter million women in UK only earn more than 50,000
pounds a year. Of these, nearly a third have salaries of
100,000 pounds or more and one in six earns more than their
partners, along with taking care of their teenage kids.
The researchers who carried out the survey have nominated
high- profile examples of the species such as Anna Wintour,
the editor of Vogue and mother of two, Cherie Blair, a barrister
and mother of four, and Anita Roddick, founder of the Body
Shop, who also has two children.
"The
identification of the Triple C mother shows there are many
women holding down highly-paid jobs while also running the
home and raising children," Andy Deller, director of banking
and insurance at Egg, was quoted by the Daily Mail, as saying.
"While men can famously only concentrate on one task at
a time, even women who have high-flying jobs, it seems,
can multi-task by raising children and running a home,"
she added. The researchers noted that it was important to
recognize the contribution mothers made to the household,
even those who do not provide an income and they also calculated
that if tragedy struck and a mother died, it would cost
at least 20,000 pounds a year to pay for someone else to
complete her household duties alone. However, Conran, who
became famous in 1975 with 'Superwoman' and founded the
'Work Life Balance Trust', has said that she doubts the
existence of such a breed and that trying to be a superwoman
"seriously challenged one's sanity." "I made it quite clear
in the book that nobody can be a superwoman and stay healthy.
You can have it all but only bit by bit, otherwise you just
end up in a loony bin.In a recent survey 50 per cent of
male managers said they spent less than five per cent of
the day with their children, and wonder whether it is worth
it. Surely it must be the same for these women?Why spend
so much of your time working so hard for your children,
who you never see anyway?," the paper quoted Conran , as
saying.

on when she grows older. Hillary, who is currently touring
Australia to with her rock band to promote her new self-titled
second album, has revealed that there are better ways to
show that one has grown up, rather than exposing. "I do
want to grow up and I am growing up you know, but I think
that you can show yourself growing up in different ways
than a lot of people have.I don't necessarily think that
it shows a sign of maturity or growing up, you know, when
you take your clothes off. Many people mature and grow up
in different ways," the Courier Mail, quoted her as saying.
