This is not about paying someone to stay at home - it's about renumerating someone for the hard work they go through in bring up a child, which does not have any "sitting on their backsides" involved.

the problem is russ when you have a child its yours, you dont expect someone else to pay for your child for you to stay off work for a year, if your eligble for family credit or tax credits then thats fine, when you get in to the realm of paying people to stay at home because they are having a child is unfair on the tax payer, i know the person who is off work pays taxes but its just creating a burden on the tax system, where is this extra funding coming from ?
