We are watching the simple things become less and less affordable for children, safe spaces for kids are more dangerous, childcare is expensive, and the cost of taking children to the doctor is increasing.
How does this push people anywhere but left?

There's nothing fiscally credible about keeping parents out of work by denying them the support they need.

Universal childcare would boost the economy, raise educational attainment and improve gender equality.

Investing in our children benefits us all.

Wisconsin's Child Care Counts program has funded more than 22k child care jobs and helped 113k children since 2020.

Republicans just defunded the program in the dead of night. Sen. Kelda Roys said the decision will make even more of Wisconsin into a childcare desert.

Erin "MY BOXES" Ryan The solution to childcare being expensive isn’t to underpay the people doing the work it’s to socialize the costs. Especially since we all benefit from the existence of good, stable, cheap childcare (yes, including childfree people).

Parenthood is the most rewarding thing I’ve done in my life.

However, many worry about bringing kids into the world due to the rising price of diapers, formula, and childcare.

But truly there are 5 hidden costs you should also consider as you prepare for kids...

I was horrified by the long days children were spending in daycare when I lived in London. I am horrified that NZ govt is allowing profit making childcare centres to demand that under twos are in for more than 6-hours a day to get the subsidy.

if you're working age at the moment it just feels like the whole economy is set up to not give a shit about you: whether childcare, rent, mortgages, wages, rail fares– in ways that are mostly not a problem in neighbouring countries! and nobody near power is proposing to fix it

Investing in childcare improves outcomes for kids + workplace equality & productivity but NI families have been woefully let down for years. MeltedParentsNI have brilliantly captured how parents are feeling & I asked SOSNI to ensure promised improvements finally start delivering

Your wife's jobs are:

1. Childcare
2. Domestic duties
3. Pleasing you

Your jobs are:

1. Everything else

Take on more responsibilities and more burdens for her so she is free to do what she is best at.

Great to see Claire Hanna raising this issue in parliament & standing up for parents. Breaking down barriers preventing access to affordable childcare is key to building economic & social prosperity.
