I honestly try not to think about how its all going to affect me and my family.
At the minute we honestly like things like the surestart centres which my wife and kids use 3 or 4 times a week, i believe these were a labour incentive.
I dont like the fact that the country is virtually on its knee's, and i dont believe that any of the 3 leaders are strong enough to bring us out of it.
The company i work for is knackered in the long run anyhow, 90% of our sales come from local authority sales, specifically sensory and social services departments and their budgets get cut every year no matter who is in power.
I suppose we are the typical family that everyone seems to hate, 2 parents (one works full time, one works part time) 2 kids, one in nursery, one 18 months old, we receive working family tax credits and we often struggle to make ends meet.
Our childcare costs are ridiculous, simply because my wife wants to work to keep her foot in the door and her sanity...it costs us almost 2/3 of what she earns to pay for the childcare whilst she is there....the other third is quickly taken up by travel and parking costs.
We calculated that she would actually be about £40 per month better off not working, i know its not a lot but its not exactly an incentive is it.
One part of me would welcome a change in government, the other is saying that things will be worse for us under the Cons or The Libs.
