Re: Modern Families : Tough Times?

Gosh, Sharon. You are between a rock and a hard place. How is it possible that deserving families such as yours can't get the assistance they need to have the standard of living and happiness that they deserve?! I'm shocked. And I'm amazed by your tenacity under such difficult circumstances. Where DO you go to for help/advice/assistance? Has anyone/anything been of practical use? Thanks for your honesty. x

That house tweeted at me! I was quite surprised, I must say. I think it is BAD and a taste of things to come. Urk.

Children really DO need to be valued more, as do those who care for them. It would be great if these child raising years were celebrated and rewarded, rather than seen (by some) as a kind of treading water period. Whether you are at home, or at work, raising kids is one of the most important jobs you will do in your life. We need to recognize and reward that. x

Oh YES! And we need mums who stay home to be supported too. We need everyone's choices to be supported, so that everyone can make the right choice for them, don't we. Thanks so much for your great comment!

Thanks for weighing in, Suzygill. It's interesting to see how child care impacts/assists you in the UK. I think this is a global issue, not just an Australian one. Thanks for commenting! x

Thanks so much for the link re Occasional Care. I think that it's a vital resource for parents and I had no idea that there was an OC crisis. That's terrible. I'm going to look into that further. Thank you. x

I think parenting is a hugely important job. I really do. You are completely right. Work is not more important than children. But sometimes it's vital that families work... for all kinds of reasons. I think you are spot on. Parents do need more support and recognition, whatever their choice. Thanks for commenting today. x

Oh thank you for your on the spot information. Those fees are exorbitant. And I totally agree with you, if we are making comparisons, we are doing VERY well. But how about we set the bar as high as we can, and make care as accessible and affordable as we possibly can here in Australia. Rather than resting on the laurels of 'Well, we're doing better than some'...? I wonder? Do you think?!

I loved reading your comment, and hearing your NY experience! x
