I know you're winding me up
but seriously, if your eleven year old son hasn't learned the rudimentary skills of 'listening' and 'not spitting at others', you're doing something seriously wrong as a parent.

These people are popping kids out to increase their income.
They're already a business asset, you can't seriously except them to take on YET MORE child care work? The government's not going to up their comfortable public sector pay package for the extra hours, so why would they?

The problem now is that we're on the second or third generation of kids being brought up by kids.
They didn't receive any good parentling themselves, so I suppose they don't have a good example to follow.

The problem is that scum breeds on scum and they get paid per child.
