Hello Mumsnetters,
Can I pick your brians for a moment please? Were you to get the chance to sit around a table with Gordon Brown and he was to ask you what government should be doing to help mums and families, what would you say?

marsy - do they treat them differently?

Ditch the tax/child credits and give all parents a tax allowance for each child under 16

Make it possible for a SAHP to transfer their tax free allowance to the WOHP

Treat the multiples (twins etc) as separate children... tax credits, childbenefit, etc etc
