Who are we?
We are New Zealand parents and ordinary people who assert the right to parent our own children, and not to be regarded as second-class citizens for doing so. We are an independent group, and are not affiliated with any particular groups or organisations.
To enlist your support send an email from the contacts page. You will receive the occasional emailed newsletter to keep you in touch with what is happening. Your comments and contributions will be welcome.
Parents as Partners
asserts:
- parents' right to establish a partnership for the support of their family.
- that we as parents are workers, and that our work is vitally important for the well-being of our society and the economy.
- the value of "mother or father-in-the-home". In the context of a recognised partnership they would achieve economic visibility.
- the right of parents to share their income for tax purposes by means of the partnership.
- that the tasks of income earning and care giving are of equal importance for the family, and that the parents should be free to divide those tasks between them as they see fit, without economic constraints on one or other choice.
