Hi,
whats that Eur 1000 called again? Does anyone understand the new system for that? Is that right that they will stop paying it and pay a year of child care? What about the mothers who stay at home and therefore dont earn anything? Do I not care for my children? Its just that I think its best for my children when I stay home the first years and even be there when my daughter comes home from school? Her schooltimes are so arkward have a part time job. I just wonder if we mothers who stay home will loose out? I dont reject the idea completly. Its good. If I would have went back to work (part time) and still had to bring the kids to playschool (because I worked in Dublin) I had to pay EUR 150 on top of my wages. Therefore its a good start for mothers who have to work.
And dont get me wrong, I wouldnt mind to work I just decided for the first years its best for my children if I stay home. But staying at home will probably be a luxury from now on.
