1 A, but not really much of a choice. I hated day care but had to work.

2f
3a
4a little of both.
5a
6a 6 weeks paid plus 6 weeks non-paid.
7a to some extent but not enough. I wanted to work part time but would have been first in line to be fired if I had. I needed the job security, so although I could shift my start time within a 3 hour window, it wasn't flexible enough for my needs.
8, b
9 - about 9.8. When my husband was alive he shared somewhat, about a 7. But he died 8 years ago and I've been solely responsible since.
10 b
11b
12e
13 e
14a, b
15b
16a but only 1 at a time even though he wanted to do more.
17 a d e
18-50
19 stay at home if I could afford it
20 a ↑
