61. I think this is running off in a ditch, I do not have a problem with a mother staying home

with their children, if this mother is so concerned with their children's care part of the care is providing a home, food and health care all of which costs money. I should have some choices also, I take the choice if parents choose to have the children and the mother is not financially capable of providing for those children then it should not fall on me and other tax payers. This would be wrong in my opinion.

I have also worked for many years, retired and went back to work, choices has to be taken seriously, parents has to make hard choices.
