It helps. It doesn't cover everything. Of course, I don't think we'd ask for you to cover everything anyway, but it's a comfortable start. It's like they say, $100 won't keep your home and it won't cover day care, but on the other hand, in the other way, it wouldn't have helped me in my situation at all. I have two children under six, so I get $200 a month and it goes towards my child care. It won't keep me home, but that added to other things, as I mentioned, is a possibility without paying me fully to stay at home. I don't want you to subsidize me to stay home. I don't want you to pay for me to take care of my own children. I'd like to keep our own money to help go towards child caring my own children, just the same way as a day care would do for their children.
