I'm in two minds over this one:
Firstly, great. It's about time all those wrinklies were compensated for all the school runs run and packed lunches packed.
However, isn't this another device that seperates parent from child, almost makes the split justifiable if the government can push childcare onto the grandparent. The other side of the coin is that this government, this society, is still forcing parents to work ridiculous hours under increasing stress just to be able to pay the bills. It's all set up to keep the wheels turning while generations of kids grow up without guidance or discipline.
What is needed is greater flexibility in the workforce, a greater focus on the needs of families not the bottom line, it's that bankers mindset that got us in this shit.
Break the cycle, you can have both family life and a career. Join the parent revolution.
