Who Looks After The Kids?

[Miss_Understanding]

Thanks for that set of current rules. I can have some fun finding out exactly what the State provides and how much and what for ? .
My neighbours do work but of course haven`t worked for a year but still get paid. Even so they sent their 1 year old to Nursery for 3 days ( free) and to avoid paying for the last 2 days the grandparents had them.
I just wonder if these same Grandparents who help their children out by having their children will get help in return when they are too old to manage ?.
I wonder if anyone has noticed the poll count to date ?

I completely agree with them sending their child to nursery whilst they are off work in a global pandemic because having children who are used to being at school but have been unable to attend, I see how important it is for children’s mental well being to have routine, a social life and freedom. I don’t blame them at all for sending their small one to nursery

Totally agree there my son has been off school but recently slowly going back they need to be out instead of stuck in doors .

Why does it matter if the child goes to nursery or not .

I was so happy when mine went back last week I was up at 5am like a kid on Xmas day

It really doesn’t. People (most) are genuinely trying to live a normal life and survive very sh** times the best way they know how. The only people that care about whether or not the child is going to nursery are the people that don’t have these worries or struggles and can sit back with their arms folded tutting and sighing at others

Totally agree I lost my job in jan wasn't working til March its not been good financially for anyone.
Its usually the curtain twitchers who have nothing better to do.

All my Grandchildren have been very lucky to have been able to have gone to school throughout this pandemic, school is vital for them, not just for learning their ABC's and stuff but for their whole wellbeing.

by which you probably mean their "socialising "? Forget academics ,forget maths ,forget all that rubbish . Just learn how to socialise ! That`ll get you far in our society

No, she said it isn’t ALL about learning, and they need social lives with people their own age too. Do you have some kind of selective reading or are your specs steamed up

Hell you don’t get free childcare for under 2’s unless there is a child disability involved (this would not always be obvious).

You don’t know everyone’s situation so to cast aspersions is unkind.

just trust that the majority of parents/care givers single or otherwise are trying to manage the best they can in unprecedented times x

I can`t b arsed to try and put my point over as it`s obvious that the majority who are writing on here just don`t wish to know it .
That`s fair enough as i don`t have to look after very young children again ( we did !t o 6 of them in sets of 2) or concern myself about the social habits of many of todays youth & young people ( with regard to pubs ).No need to answer this unless you have parents who actually lived in a time before this .
School days then lasted from aged 5 to aged 15( 16 at grammar schools). Have we advanced since then ?
Btw ,i do appreciate that some parents ,for any number of reasons ,may need to return to work asap after childbirth. Career is but one so i do exclude them in my samples.
All i did was give a reason why i think that children should be with care of one parent to mould the family unit to begin with .

To be honest ,i can`t be bothered any more ,thank you .

Just a quick response Olli. read the title of this Thread ,then the results of the poll .

 

[WickedPerdition]

Why was there not an option in your poll to accommodate those who did not have children as opposed to those who did not want children? Surely, there are some people who may have wished to voted who just simply did not have children.

 

[Bad_Influence]

What about parents who want kids but can’t have them? Or parents who have kids but don’t give a sh**? Or parents who adopt kids just for the benefits?
Yes this has got silly now, but Hells forums tend to do that when folks don’t agree with him.

hell2bwith76 did not initiate this thread but he has made some extremely pertinent points in the discussion with which I thoroughly agree, based on his own experiences, which seem pretty much all-encompassing to me.

Your recent activity is solely confined to the Forum. Am I to safely assume that you are on yet another period of 'enforced silence'? <LOL>
Might I also enquire why your post typically repeats what I have already stated?
Endeavour to be original, for God's sake.
