Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
[QUOTE=batty-x-ray;5286807]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?[/QUOTE
Because they went out and earned it probably working 60 and 70 hours per week to make that cash. jees are you a man hater or a feminist

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
I am not winding you up. I have created some children and funded them decently despite being estranged. I don't like to see other men f u c k and run. To my mind this chap is making a feeble contribution.

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
I applauded you for doing your best by your children but I'm sure even you had to eat?

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
But that's the thing. If you create children you have to pay for them. If you choose to leave the mother you have to continue to support them and, if you want to eat, you have to earn more. Had he not left the family would have received £1400 from him, if he wants to leave and buy a flat he should generate the money for that on top of paying a sensible portion of the £1400. 350 isn't a sensible portion, especially considering he's paying 450 for a flat that benefits only himself.

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
Your obviously on the wind up!!! the guy clears £1400 takes his kids two days a week and the other guy in the equation does the same. I have two kids easily raised on less than £90 per week and I can assure you my kids
want for nothing.
This girl would need to earn £40k a year to earn this money on her own, maybe I just need to wake up and smell the coffee but I can't for the life of me see where She should get this much benefit.

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).

First of all I am no boy I am 35 years of age(well nearly 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.
I rest my case Mr 34 and three quarters

He left her because she was Shagging somebody else (which she blamed on him as he was`working all the time), he also let her stay in the house that he owned whilst continuing to pay the bills for 6 months. and you can,t buy sh*t here for under £70k (1 bedroom) so unless he stays with his parents he has no option not to pay that.

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
I may be totally wrong, and if I am I apologise in advance, but I do believe there was a thread where you mentioned receiving government assistance somewhere around $1100 a month for an autistic child. I remember being dumbfounded by it having mentioned raising a handicapped child myself, without assistance, but being in a different province seemed to be the deciding factor on getting help. It seems rather odd given your comment above.

Re: Benefits in the UK for single Mums
I went to see my friends ex wife today as she is looking to change her mortgage (as a favour to him). I have to tell you I came away absolutely disgusted at what she gets.(this is really unprofessional I know but I thought I had to share it as it was making my blood boil)
She has 3 kids two to my mate and one to another guy.
20 hours per week teaching assistant Job £770 per month
Maintainance from my friend £385 per month
Other Childs Dad £250 per month
WORKING TAX CREDIT £250 A WEEK £1083 A MONTH
And another £150 or so child benefit.
Giving her a average weekly take home of over £600 a week.:curse::curse:
Fairness in the UK your having a f*****g laugh, and my friend is toiling after he pays her and the his own mortgage.To make matters worse she has a new car with a private plate, O and she gave him a lift the other night and asked if he liked her cruise control (you couldn't make this sh*t up).
O and she is livid cause her mortgage is rising £60 pm. Surely she must be telling lies to the government about her income her net disposable income is better than mine!!!!!!!!!!! (GREADY COW)
END OF LONG RANT:curse:

This is one reason out of serval hundreds why Simon and I want to leave the UK. The area we live in is filled with hundreds of people like this. It drives Simon crazy, but its too late for the UK to do anything about this now..........................The UK is the pits
