Have your say on the debate over mothers and work

We asked whether it is possible for modern mothers to combine childcare with a career. Had our panel made free choices in their own lives or had they felt pressured? Is there such a thing as a supermum - and does superdad exist?

Now we want to know what you think.

The Observer wants to hear from men and women; from grandparents, from parents and from their children, to build up the most accurate picture we can of family life in Britain today.

If you're a working parent, are you happy with your work-life balance - or have you forgotten what it's like not to feel guilty or exhausted?

If you're a stay at home mother or house husband, do you feel fulfilled, or do you worry about ever getting back on the career ladder? How do you feel about the choices your own parents made?

What needs to change to make family life better? And if you've already cracked it, could you share your secret with the rest of us?

Please take five minutes and join the debate. We're looking forward to what you have to say.
