David Cameron denies parenting classes 'nanny state'

lollywood —

Describing vouchers for parenting classes in England as a "nanny state" policy is "nonsense", David Cameron has said.

In three trial areas, those with children aged up to five can get a £100 voucher towards parenting classes.

The PM has also announced a new NHS online information service for parents of very young children.

TitaniumI think they should just advocate that only have children if you WANT to and not because it was a by product of a physical activity.

How many people truly want children?

And not for the child bnft and other perks that come with it?

Ask any parent and they'll  go on a rant our children want this our children want that and it ends I wish I didn't have any

Hmmm, how about you go and ask some parents! Children have needs and wants, fine line between them! I asked one set of parents (and I'm sure many more will agree that) some children can be troublesome but they have no regrets with having children and children are a blessing!
