Help for the family

THANK you, Jeremy hunt, for extending free childcare hours to one and two-year-olds.

This means i will be able to return to work and help pay towards the mortgage and other soaring bills. We don’t have relatives living nearby to help out, so this is a lifeline.

Name and address supplied. Why are parents given free childcare? surely if they choose to have children they should support them. Why should the government pay for it out of our taxes?
