    As someone here so eloquently stated yesterday: Rearing you children is a responsibility, not a job.

    Could she not get an au pair like that one who was on a few months ago whinging about au pair wages?

    She could get an au-pair in the back door, so to speak.

    So these mothers basically want to be paid by the state to look after their own kids? Seriously?

    Childcare businesses - proper registered ones - generate jobs and tax, hence subsidies can be given. People not working to stay at home sadly does not.

    Honestly, some people will never be happy.

    Do you know why there'll be no room? Because the demand currently isn't there. If the demand started to increase then the number of spaces may increase, either in the current daycare place, or new ones opening up.

    None caller.
    However they don't have a special discriminatory provision in their Constitution stating that mudders are sacred

    Joe gave the guy short shrift yesterday who was trying to make the same point. Maybe the secret to not being cut off is to provide a cast down story of your own first.
