I've got me moany face on.
I'm coming to the conclusion that for those that compile surveys, I don't exist. I have just completed one and it's the same old story.
Always and I mean ALWAYS in the list of options re employment we have the same descriptions.
Middle management, health worker, unemployed, at home with children..
No option for "none of the above" seems to be available. I am not unemployed, I am not bringing up small kids..
I am a carer! I have brought my kids up, would dearly love to be gainfully employed but out of necessity am at home with adult disabled daughter acting as her carer.
Don't I count? And for that matter, don't people unable to work due to loing term illness or disability count either..maybe the powers that be would prefer it if we all just disappeared.
Our needs are ignored anyway
