Seventy per cent of British women feel under pressure to be the “perfect woman”, according to a survey by Sanctuary.
Pressure to be the "perfect mother, the perfect wife, the perfect friend. Pressure to be successful, to be a boss, a leader".

What I wouldn’t give to extend those goodnight kisses, instead of moaning about having to get up early in the morning.
What I wouldn’t give for an extra second of cuddling my babies before they became too big to hold.
What I wouldn’t give for five more minutes on the dance floor while my legs were still strong enough to hold me.
