of your own, you may as well chuck a couple more in with you and earn from it.

Our childminder *must* be on something pushing a six figure salary.

And I recently read a feminist claiming middle class parents exploit immigrants by paying them to bring up your kids http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/xmashehe1.gif

intense sex with someone like me.

Actually read in The Guardian of all places that many wives of house-husbands confessed to being embarrassed at dinner parties by the "what does your husband do" question.

The government provides 15 hours a week and are still pledging to increase that to 30 this year. But that’s only for 3 year olds and only comes into effect the *school term* after they turn 3, so actually you might only see the benefit for about three quarters of a year out of their entire pre-school years.

when you start working you must save half your pay.

It only actually makes sense when you hit thirty, but all that cash is basically what your wife will need, in terms of time and security, to be able to happily raise your family, leaving you free to enjoy life.
