To: The UK government

Fair play for stay at home parents.

Dear Minister
We petition you and formally request that the government agrees to give stay at home parents who chose to give up their career in order to raise their children (instead of putting them into child care at the tax payers expense) the same allowances as those who claim this benefit in kind.

We believe the present arrangement discriminates against parents who take the responsibility for raising their offspring as a serious responsibility in life choices.

Why is this important?

It is essential parenting is not seen as a SECONDARY career choice as it now appears to be in the eyes of our politicians and perhaps even our society.
Those parents will now be substantially worse off in monetary terms relative to parents who work outside the home.
