Have you read this article?
There's something wrong with a society that doesn't make it easier for parents (I don't mean both, I mean one or t'other - both would be fab, but even I'm not that impractical!) to be at home with their children for at least the first year of their lives, isn't there?
And yes, I know the Government are bringing in 9m paid mat leave, but in reality, lots of firms will just pay the six weeks 90% of full pay and then £104 a week or whatever it is - and that's not nearly enough for lots of families.
Yes, I also know that people can move house/change jobs/downsize - and some people do all this and it works for them.
But equally, there are people for whom this is utterly impractical.
What's the answer?
