I don’t normally “do” politics but…
AS seen on Stepping off the Path (which you may or may not already read!)
Allowing Parents to BE parents
"Most parents and guardians do not need the ‘opportunity’ to work, they need the ‘opportunity’ to rear and nurture their children.
If we really want this generation to grow up as fully rounded and emotionally intelligent human beings we need for parents to be allowed to parent, rather than become people who give them breakfast and put them to bed exhausted from lining the Chancellors’ coffers.
Support my petition to give financial help to families where one parent wishes to raise their own child until nursery age, and to support the family rather than business by eliminating the need for ‘wrap-around’ child care."
Obviously it would be nice it 1 parent can then continue to stay home until hte child is old enough to come home from school or whatever independently rather than needing the dread before and after school clubs but hey, baby steps!
