If it's who I think I believe they work....but must get a shed load of child allowance
Being brought up by all the family, she's always in someone's arms 
Not teaching her to be independent then

Seriously....I've got no problem if they can support them themselves but I get annoyed when my taxes help to bring them up

There was an article on the Wright show today about childless people having to work over christmas while parents spend time with the kids....why? do childless people not have families too

to be fair, if they have young children I think it's about priority and the kids must come first IMO.

I disagree but we'll leave it at that

I've always thought that was wrong
In my eyes we should all take our turn
If I had no children I would gladly swop with people that had young children...my husband was rarely at home on Christmas day, he had to work and it spoiled the girls day...but that's just me and how I look at Christmas.

But did you not have other family that you could go to?
Having said that...when I worked at Morrisons I was always ok to work over christmas as long as I could have christmas eve off

My dad only had Christmas Day off once every 7 years ( that's how nursing was in those days ) so I know what's it's like , and volunteering is one thing , but I don't agree with people without kids HAVING to swap ....

why would I, the kids wanted to be home with their presents. I've seen us getting up at 4.45 so they could open their presents before he went to work. As I say, it's just me and I always think of Christmas for the children, I'm not religious and to me now it's another day.
