Can the UK government really do this?... Can they send mothers back to work when their babies are 1 or stop benefits? Seems a bit harsh? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/p ... 299325.ece
I remember Tia's nursery fees were extortionate and I was lucky as I was at Uni so got 90% of the fees paid... Here, nursery is quite cheap (Lil miss could go to her nursery 8:45am till 8pm, mon/fri with fully cooked dinner included for 240 per month) plus if we work, we get 100 a month to pay for child care and its just given to us, we don't need to prove our kids are in registered childcare centres just prove we are working
When I tell Spanish mums, though, about what you can get in the UK for having kids and not working, most are like , we only get that 100 a month till they are 3 years old, then we get nothing else, no child benefit, no tax credit, which is why most people won't have more than a 2 kids, basically we can't afford them and school books can cost 300 per year per child... so imagine if you had more than 3 kids .. but considering the UK has a higher rate of living I would assume that you would need that extra dosh
So if the government did bring this in, what would SAHM mums do without the extra help? Is it a good thing? Should people like Sharron Matthews mother be allowed to have several children and live off benefits?..
I personally don't think its fair on working parents.. I think they should be helped more... But what do others think? What does Prime Minster ZS have to say on all this because shes just brilliant
