For the past few weeks the shrill cries of hundreds, if not thousands, of women who self-proclaim themselves as being a ‘full-time yummy mummy’ have been keeping the UK awake with the “devastating news” from George Osborne, specifying that free childcare will not be given out to those full time, stay at home mothers… My heart aches at this devastating news… For the first time ever, I actually agree with this clueless potato!

‘Tis true what my pasty hating, poor tax creating chancellor friend has said - that women who purposely choose to spend every second, of every minute, of every waking hour of their day at home with their precious little monsters whilst their spouse earns the living, or their money magically appears in their accounts, in my mind, do not deserve to be given free childcare, because they are simply choosing to care for their child so another soul does not have to do it for them.

Their cries seemingly got louder when it came to light that Osborne was offering families, with two working parents, childcare vouchers. I can understand why people would be against this.

Yes, those folk are earning significant amounts of money, more than enough to cover the costs of living and childcare. However those who earn the significant amounts of money are paying significant amounts of tax and working long hours meaning they have to pay for childcare unlike those parents who stay at home and look after their own children.

At this present moment in my life, I don’t own any children. The one thing I have to look after, to love and care for, is my bedroom and quite often and voluntarily my adorable niece, so these childcare vouchers have no relevance to me whatsoever. I can to sympathise with those who are missing out – who likes to miss out!? - but I actually think this scheme is quite fair.

Yes, if you’ve quit your job to care for your child/children then you’re missing out on an income because YOU obviously believed that the cheaper option would be for YOU to stay home and care for YOUR child YOURSELF.

Having someone care for your children whilst you’re still a ‘full-time yummy mummy’ with free vouchers isn’t going to achieve anything and it will be a blatant waste of resources that could possibly be spent on single working parents or your childs’ state education later on down the line.

Just because, for once, I agree with Osborne does not mean I always have and always will. Obviously my blog will tug at the highly strung strings of some parents, but then again, you will have to understand that this article has been written by a childless child of 18, commenting on how ‘the others’ (grown ups) live in the UK.

Personally, I find reading different articles refreshing and replenishing – you get to see someone else’s perspective opposed to the mass media message scrawled into the memory of the readers and consumers alike.

Before you challenge me on what I have decided to create – I will accept your comments… Provided you accept mine.
