Isn't it a bit ironic that you want to scrap a benefit that is designed to make it easier for people like yourself to have kids?
If anything, you could see it as a way to spread the cost of having kids. You pay some tax for it now, and get the benefit when you have kids. Once the kids grow up you keep paying for the money you received through your taxes.
