I reckon parents having kids in 2009 (ish) have seemed to be hit pretty full on with the cutting of these payments. Major of is have kids that didn't get the old maternity immunisation allowance at 18 months - we just got the half payment. And then they cut it before our kids were old enough for the second half of the payment. The school kids bonus will likely be ditched before our kids get it. I swear we are jinxed lol
I reckon the flip side of that too is that those of us with older kids aren't too worried because while it was nice, we haven't always had the payment and if it's cut, life just goes back to the way it was before and it was nice while it lasted.
