What Bubs Want: Lets look at what bubs want and forget wrath(for the moment) Bubs new and up till 3-4 years of age want the undivided love and attention of a caring Mother. They like to be close to the person that they trust most with teensy additions of other caring individuals ,in very small doses( a bit like adults).
They like to be cuddled and kissed and made a fuss of by their Mum and Dad (the people they trust most)
similar to adults who like to be cuddled and kissed and made a fuss of by their partner.When bubs are feeling totally loved and safe and secure they venture out with Mum or Dad or both to a wider world, before then, they dont particularly like it, but they cannot express it in words. Mums who provide this to their Bubs should be happy knowing that they are doing what their Bub really wants and needs. So if the government loves Bubs, they will do everything possible to help Mums and Dads give Bubs what they want.

Great article. It is an emotive subject, and I am one of the p_ssed ones! Government should be supporting families having children by offering paid parental leave, and cheaper better quality childcare - this means a range of choices about how to raise children are available to families. Policies that value either working mums over stay-at-home mums or vice versa should be shunned. To Julia Gillard I say - with an ageing population, increasing fertility is as important to the economy as maximising workforce participation. And increasing fertility is best achieved by offering families a range of choices.
