Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Families with kids under 3 years old struggling to pay for childcare and government encouraging people to stay at home on benefits so they can have free childcare and lots of money
We are a working family together we have 90 hours a week working and paying huge taxes on top of this we pay £1000 a month for childcare. I don't understand why us what we working we have to pay taxes wich is paying for other people benefits and childcare. I strongly think to give up my job and stay at home and get same money plus free childcare. Don't get why people what stay at home on benefits needs childcare. They are at home to look after kids
