Child Minders
The news that grandparents are obliged to fill in a 26 page tax return form as child minders even if they receive no income is a ridiculous situation.
The present government is completely out of touch with the struggles of everyday life. The ludicrous decision of revenue to clamp down on grandparents minding their grandchildren is administration at its worst. Tying senior citizen down with red tape is a worry our elderly can do without. Daily on my canvass l come across many grandparents minding their grandchildren in a dutiful and caring fashion. These grand parents have collected a wealth of experience down through the years. While it can be hard work at times this labour of love is reflected in the smiles of the young children. I call on the government to reverse this decision and stop putting undue pressure on three generation of a family.
