glad to see your coming around to my way of thinking lol

but i was thinking of school reports lack of asbos that sort of thing

in fact lets go one further

i propose we pay 1 parent minimum wage of 40 hours to stay at home with their children,

my wife used to comment when she told people she was a housewife, people reacted as though she did nothing, when a housewife is on call 24/7

think of the benefits

time to prepare a proper balanced diet
time to help with homework
being there when your children get home
amongst others

if it meant we produced a future genaration of more rounded individuals it would be worth it even if it meant a tax increase, plus it would free up jobs for those poor unemployed.

so there we go ill sit back and wait to get shot down for that 1
