I disagree with this i'm afraid. Both my parents have worked long hours all my life, my Dad was a fireman which, for a young child, was very distressing (was he going to come home that night?) but it certainly didnt scar me for life. It made me realise that a parent/parents can go out to work when their children are young. I went back to work a month after I had Harry, because I loved my job. I have worked throughout Harry's life and at one point had 3 jobs. I certainly havent missed out on anything and he is a wonderful little person, and isn't scarred for life! I would never want to be on benefits, I never have claimed them and have no intention of doing so.
