girl??? is she a child?

90 a week, does that include a portion towards, the house, the heating, the car etc etc??

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
 

A womens point of view (no offence) he also gave her £15k towards buying her house as he wanted to aid his children, and the fact that she screwed about (hence the reason why they split up) he takes all three too the pictures or anything else on any kids night out (splits for half the xmas presents), on all three kids so that the other kid is not left out makes him generous and her a gready cow in my book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
 

Apologies she is not a girl she,s a sponging arse! and why should he pay towards the Car????

I must not be getting it. My whole point is she is encouraged not to work because the government will pay her plenty as long as she works 16hours + a week.!!!:eek:

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
 

But she is working, and has kids and is single. So you think she should work full time??

Basically we dont really know as we arent those people. You have heard it from one side. What annoyed me about your posts was that you seem to assume that she shouldnt have any money other than what she earns herself, and that she certainly shouldnt have any enjoyment out of it. Whatever makes you so bitter about it all??

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
 

you are so right

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
 

Do his kids not go in the car? Does he run them to school, take them to after school activities, fetch their shoppping etc?

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
 

He obviously thinks she should run an old rust bucket death trap. They way to a mans heart is through his motor. She will have known it would wind him up hence comments on the cruise control!

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
 

What makes me bitter about is that most of my friends and clients work twice as many hours, as this WOMAN have children and take home the same cash!!!!!!!!! and get heehaw from the goverment.

I paid over 10k tax last and got nothing? where is the justice in that or should I give up and take the piss just like her (typed in anger):curse:

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
 

Well maybe you pay taxes to live in a heathy educated society, maybe that is what you get for your money.

I dont have children and I dont begrudge paying taxes to fund education and healthcare etc as I hope that my reward will be a better society for me to live in.

Child benefit, does everyone get that- whether they "need " it or not, thats a hand out too. do you get that or would you hand it back and say no, not me i will support myself?? Do you pay less tax if you have children?? Or hand it back??

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
 

She lives about 2 mins from the school, must be great to be female where the guy the relationship gets shafted when he f**ks up and when she f**ks up he gets shafted again (apologies for the expletives).

Sorry girls but I can't see where you can defend this WOMAN she mucks up they fall out she makes half his earnings and takes home twice as much due to the fact that she is a single parent (thru choice).:confused:

Batty

Everybody gets Child benefit, although we do not get tax credits because we earn over a certain amount which in the Uk you get punished for.

I just think we all get the same chance in life sorry!!! so why should people get bailed out from the government especially ones playing the system::( Another reason for seeking new shores I guess.

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
 

Look BOY, people should be responsible for their actions, especially when their actions result in children.

I am not sure whether you are sour and bitter about the benefits system or, more likely women .

BTW professionally you should direct this woman to a colleague, you are way too involved.

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
 

Absent parents should help to fully support their kids. What annoys me is the inequity. Some single parents get everything, others vary little

I got £30 a week for 2 kids, had to take out a bigger mortgage to buy by ex's half of the house. He worked full time and I part time. I just wans't ruthless enough.

There should be just a standard process so everyone gets a fair deal, not let it depend on the willingness of the absent parent or the tenacity of the parent with the kids.

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
 

So why arent you bitter about someone earning say £100,000 and getting child benefit when they obviously dont need this handout, and this woman getting benefits, apart from that she has more than your mate?

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
 

First of all I am no boy I am 35 years of age(well nearly:D although that is maybe not a good thing) my wife works for womens aid and I am the first to stick up for women who get a rough deal, but you would be right that I am a bit psssed at the UK benefits system and I have already referred the case to my partner.
