Would YOU choose to work if your husband was rich enough to support you? Meet three (very comfortably-off) mums who refuse to be 'kept women'... and try not to scream

Sue Pearson's husband, Dave (left, with their family), earns enough in his IT management job to provide his family with the best - and more besides. 


And that leaves Sue in the highly privileged position of not needing to work. But far from jumping at the chance to evade the daily grind, the 50-year-old puts in 40 hours a week earning significantly less than her husband as a writer for scientific journals. Heidi Reid's husband (right, with their family) is a very successful TV producer; and Heidi, 46, has her own wedding accessory business. Meanwhile, Lizzie Falconer (inset), 51, works as a hypnotherapist - while her husband is a partner in a media consultancy firm.
