We've all looked up to our mothers, grandmothers, godmothers and thought - how did they do it? For all of us in our twenties and beyond these women raised families in pre-1990 years, when the experience of being a parent was rather different - or was it?

What challenges did Mums of young children in the 60s, 70s and 80s face? Are they different to the pressures young families in 2008 deal with? How did they manage finances, careers, the demands of children and a husband?

As a Mum who experienced raising children during these years, complete our survey [0] and tell us about your experience.
