@itvnews: More than a third of parents say they plan to skip meals in order to send their children to holiday camp this summer, according to a new survey. The data, gathered by the Salvation Army, also found that more than a third of parents say they cannot afford to pay for childcare over summer, nor take time off to care for their children themselves. #itvnews #news
I wish people who cant afford kids would stop having them. You should have a good amount of savings before having kids.

Also days out are unfairly expensive.. sea life centre costs £100 for a family of 4 when during off peak times it’s a quarter the price.. ridiculously unfair 🥺

I think alot of us sometimes forget how privileged we are when it comes to money. that, and the fact tt everything is extremely overpriced nowadays. parents shouldn't have to make such big sacrifices for their kids!! everyone should be able to enjoy their summer no matter the income of the household. is there anyway we can help these families via charity etc?

The government doesn't care about what happens to any adults anymore. Everyone needs support regardless of their age, but they don't care. If an adult is of working age. This teaches our children that they are worthless when it their time to become adults.

This is also one thing that i've wondered about. Why can't the government do something as they want? Everybody in work, but they want the next taxpayers to be looked after too. How can we look after our children? When we can't get time off from work and nobody else can do it.
