More budget set aside for young families. $10-$12K would be helpful. Most of my frens stop at 1-2 cuz tight budget. Mentioning childcare fees, childcare leave esp if Sch close for HFMD or child got HFMD. HFMD wipe out childcare leave in 7 days. If got it again, no more leave, let alone AL. 365days only got 3-6 childcare leave isn't enough for 1 or even 2 children. Some women unable to wrk fr home. Leave abit earlier get stared by bosses. Hard to incorporate to every companies. Maternity leave would be gd to extend but companies will be pissed off, including colleagues who are covering for mummies. How?? Govt sure look for profit making?? When give something, they want something in return. Most middle class are trying to make ends meet..but do govt really truly understand?? It's been years~~~ kinda sad actually..
