Is being a stay-at-home mum a piece of cake?

BBC Asian Network - Nihal, Is being a stay-at-home mum a piece of cake?

Nihal asks 'is being a stay-at-home mum the easy option?'.

Is being a stay-at-home mum the easy option? Plus Kavita Bhanot, Gautam Malkani and Anoushka Beazley talk about the anthology Too Asian, Not Asian Enough.

At 1, Is being a stay-at-home mum the easy option?

We're talking about this today because Mothercare has carried out research that shows that housewives feel they're looked down upon and not respected. They also felt insulted by the term 'housewife'. So what's it like in your house? If you're a stay-at-home-mum, do you feel that you're not appreciated for all the hard work you do, childcare, cooking, cleaning etc? Are you taken for granted by a family who see you as a servant and treat where you live as a hotel? Or do you think women need to quit whingeing and recognise the real heroes of the family....the working men?

At 2, Nihal will have Kavita Bhanot, Gautam Malkani and Anoushka Beazley in the studio talking about anthology 'Too Asian, not Asian enough'.
