My parents worked throughout my childhood. I was first put into day time care part time during the week when I was 16 weeks old. Right up until I was 11 I would spend the mornings and afternoons at a 'child minder'. This, clearly, shaped who I am today - I'm perhaps not as close with my parents as I could be - but I don't think that has to be a bad thing. The woman who took care of me when I was really young, and her husband, are my god parents. I am still in touch with them and in fact I had dinner there on Monday, I'm also very good friends with their son. These people are family to me.

Putting your kids in some kind of care isn't always a bad thing. If you land a job or get an opportunity, take it if it's going to make you happier. There's no point being unhappy just to be with your kids 100% of the time - that's not good for you or them.

I couldn't do it.
