Emma Thompson - Out of the mouth of a Liberal Idiot - "Working Mums can't be great Mums"

By Elizabeth Nelson

Wait a minute, her husband cheated on her and she was on the verge of divorce, so who is she to give anyone any kind of advice, let alone family advice, so take this for what it's worth. Okay, so you won't even be able to buy a cup of coffee or a half smoked cigarette, by the time you're done reading this.

Take a year off work to be with your children, says actress who put her career on hold for 12 months... but she is worth 30million!

Wouldn't we all love to be worth thirty million and be able to just take a year off of "work," if pretending to be someone else is actually work. While surrounded by people who cook our food, wash our clothes and clean our homes.  Oh, what a rough life.

Emma Thompson has urged parents to take a year off work to spend more time with their children, saying: ‘You can’t be a great mum and keep working all the time.’

The actress recently put her Hollywood career on hold of 12 months to look after her children ... but with a wealth estimated at about £30 million, she is better placed than most to be able to afford the time off.

The 55-year-old said: ‘I wanted to spend more time with my family.

‘A year off was my birthday present to myself. I didn’t actually act or write. I was just a mum.

‘I taught drama at my daughter’s school, cooked meals and had fun

'I highly recommend others to do the same if they can afford it.’

The star who recently played Mary Poppins creator P.L. Travers in Saving Mr Banks, also described her husband Greg Wise as 'a great aesthetic pleasure'.

The Love Actually actress – who has a 14-year-old daughter, Gaia, and a 26-year-old adopted son, Tindyebwa Agaba – said she had come to the conclusion that it wasn’t always possible to juggle parenthood and a career.

She said: ‘Sometimes in life you’ll have some things, at other times you will have other things.

'You don’t need it all at once, it’s not good for you.

‘Motherhood is a full-time job. 

'The only way I could have continued working would have been by delegating the running  of the home to other people.

'I never wanted to do this as I find motherhood profoundly enjoyable.’

The star who recently played Mary Poppins creator P.L. Travers in Saving Mr Banks, also described her husband Greg Wise as ‘a great aesthetic pleasure’.

She said: ‘He is the only luxury I can’t imagine ever being able to give up.

'Because he can cook, wash up, clean, entertain children, understand maths homework, put up shelves, take them down and put them up elsewhere and repair the little holes left behind, garden with a purpose, drive sensibly but very fast on motorways and let me get on with my life.  Read more Daily Mail:

This is just further proof that Liberal Hollyweird is living in their own realm of reality and not on the same plan of existence that we live in.  Not all of us have the liberty and luxury of being able to stay home with our children, even though we would really like to.  Especially in this day, in which we live, most parents are actually forced to pull in two paychecks, just to cover the bills, eat and put fuel in the cars.

Considering my son is 20-yrs-old and a contributing, self thinking member of society - not a leach and liberal drain, and even my 10-year-old step son is well aware of what a waste of air Obama is, and asks me weekly if the Impeachment process has been started yet,  I'd say that I did a damn good job working, spending quality time with my children and I'm a "Great Mum, " raising them well.
