Rejected petition Make a law for fathers to use annual leave to help out in school holidays
Ive struggles for the passed 4 years during school holidays to find affordable childcare. I only get 4 weeks annual leave so I struggle and even have to take unpaid leave while paying a mortgage which isn’t ideal. My daughters fathers refuses to help out which I think is unfair. It should be equal.
More details
I have asked her father several times with no avail. It would help out greatly if both sets of parents had to do this by law and I feel it would also bring tax credits childcare costs down for people who claim.
