i'm so mad i could bomb something.
Okay..... The men in white coats will be with you momentarily.
What they need to do is target their benefits better. If parent(s) work then sure give tax breaks. But don't give money just for having kids. Of course people will take the ****.
We might well be better off if the Mrs gave up work and went on the dole - the savings in childminding coupled with increased benefits wouldn't be far off her wage. Maybe that's a sign that nurses SHOULD be paid more. :chin:
had a mate do that,they were slightly worse off with the mrs giving up work but it took the pressure of the daily nursery run schedule in the morning
Plus much more time with the kid(s) which is worth more than money in the end. That and she's got all day to do whatever - cleaning, bit of decorating, meeting friends, shopping. Beats working for a living.
