Interview with children of Working mothers.
This is the transcript of my interview with Xiaowei
Zhiting: Hi, how are you?
Xiaowei: Fine, how about you? It has been a long time since we’ve met.
Zhiting: I am fine too, just a little stressed up, never mind. May I ask you a few questions? It is for my school project.
Xiaowei: Huh? Me? Can you don’t ask me? Later I answer wrongly how?
Zhiting: It’s alright, it is just an interview, there is no right or wrong answer.
Xiaowei: Huh…
Zhiting: Please…
Xiaowei: Okay! Just a few only!
Zhiting: Okay!
Zhiting: Does your mother work?
Xiaowei:Yes.
Zhiting: Then how long does she work a day?
Xiaowei: 14 hours, I think.
(Xiaoying, Xiaowei’s sister came and sat beside us)
Xiaoying: No lah, don’t any how say!
Xiaoying: She where got work so long? Only 11 to 12 hours.
Zhiting: Okay, okay, don’t quarrel!
Zhiting: Do you think your mother can cope well with her work and family?
Xiaowei: No!
Zhiting: What makes you think so?
Xiaowei: Whenever someone irritates her in her office, when she come home she will be angry and scold me!
Xiaoying: Me also, not only you!
Zhiting: How much time does your mother spend with you a day?
Xiaowei: Very little, only 4 to 5 hours.
Zhiting: Do you think the time she spent with you is enough?
Xiaowei: Of course not!
Xiaoying: Duh, right?!
Zhiting: Fine, then are you close to your mother?
Xiaowei: No,erm. Maybe, yes?
Zhiting: Huh? Then yes or no?
Xiaowei: Erm, no.
Zhiting: Why do you think so?
Xiaowei: Because, she spends most of the time working.
Xiaowei: Hmm…how many question you ask already?
Zhiting: Okay, okay. Last question.
Zhiting: Do you like your mother to go out and work? Why?
Xiaowei: No, because I cannot spend time with her.
Xiaowei:Okay! No more questions, right?
Zhiting: Yes, okay! Thank you!
