Marie Buchan is looking for her first-ever job because of proposed new Government benefit cuts – and complains: “I’m being forced into work”. . . .
She said looking after her eight children – all of them under the age of 13 – was a 21-hour working day. Marie explained that she gets up at 6am and does not get to bed some days until 3am.
If only there were some institution other than the welfare state that allowed women to take care of children without having also to provide the means to do so.
