Also limit child benefits for the unemployed to the first three children and watch the number of women with 3 children who planned to get more, for more money, go on the pill.
The problem is she doesn't want to work in any capacity. She wants to sit at home all day and watch TV and play video games and do whatever she wants. Working in a day care would still be working. She once said, "Working just isn't for me."
