What the petition asks
I am a working parent.
I DO NOT receive benefits and cannot afford child care.
I don't find it fair that free childcare for children aged 2, is offered to parents who claim benefits.
They are free to take care of their own children.
Please support working parents.

I am sure that working class citizens that have children will agree that they also find it hard to get through the month even though we work. We literally spend all our earnings to pay for all our bills with no support from the government.
Where as a NON worker receives benefits and free childcare, so they have more free time to do nothing.
Please support working class parents.
