40 hrs max, EOR - please change!!
 

Why are these new stipulations being introduced to make our already difficult lives more difficult?!?  Most of us deal with issues with our children that already consume most of our daily time. Please help make it easier on us to continue to provide the best care for our children without all these rules and regulations that are causing more heart ache and creating more difficulty in caring for our children. 

Please change the MAX cap of 40 hours/week that parents are allowed to work to provide care for our children who are sometimes budgeted for more hours. The majority, if not all of us, will be unable to find paid caregivers for the remaining hours above 40 and even though we are given those hours for our children who need. These hours would essentially be unusable and it would be unfair.

Please continue to allow non-attendant parents are EORs. Many people do not have someone within a 50 mile radius to help with this unpaid responsibility and many will struggle to find someone who cares enough to do this job or do it responsibly.
