    I'm sorry, i really didnt mean to offend I was just responding to the other threads who had asked/assumed I was a single mum, I do have friends who are single parents and I do appreciate how hard it is, I was just using that as an example as the people I know get to (rightly so) spend time with their kids whereas it seems if you have a partner then you have to work every hour god can send to pay the bills!! The goverment seem so keen on helping people go back to work but not to spend a year or so with their kids while they are tiny!! Like I also said I am not envious at all. I don't know where you got that idea from.

    My point wasn't critising at all about the situations that people are in and I don't have any problems with 'paying in to the pot' for 11 YEARS (read thread properly) to help other people out who need it, I just wanted to know if I could spend time with my kids TOO!!!!!! Of course a single mum who IS working wouldn't receieve benefits either - Did I say that was the case, I'm sorry if I did!! No, I Said that "the criteria you need to get help these days is to be a single mum who doesn't want to work! ?" AND sadly that is the blatant TRUTH.


    I really am sorry for coming on to this thread and asking a question only to get mis-understood and shot down in flames, I am sorry for loving my kids and wanting to spend time with them. I guess I should just sit in the box the government has put me in and go to work like a good little girl and be constantly broke and have to pick my son up off the floor in tears every day cos he doesn't want me to leave him all the time and go to a crappy job that i dont want to do just because thats what I am supposed to do. I hope that everyone else enjoys seeing their kids grow up that is able to!!

    I wasn't after handouts, just trying to re-arrange my life so that I still work and get to see my kids too, I will be exhausted I am sure but hey, surely someone can come on here and criticise me for that too!

    nah im still not feeling sorry for you :D

    Then you are a pretty NASTY person then!

    I believe in Karma and what goes around comes around, I hope you get what is coming to you in saying things like that. I am a honest, decent person who has no prejudice against anyone for who they are or what they do.

    I hope you feel so proud of yourself. I only want to see my kids!!!

    if you don't pack it in right now, you'll both be on the naughty step! (I had one waaay before that Nanny JoJo had one!)
    now play nicely or i'll take the toy away and no one will have it!

    C'mon you guys knock it off.

    And they also CHOSE to come onto here to ask for help, not to be judged by the likes of some, i really do hope that you or your families never feel the need to ask anything of anyone but i do believe that is very unlikely :rolleyes:

    Hiya, sorry to hijack this thread but didnt really want to start another one when it is kind of the same question I am asking, I am also wondering the same as OP but thought that you wouldnt get JSA no matter what the reason for leaving your job... Does anyone know if you leave to spend more time with your kids as you are thoroughly depressed at leaving them in care every single day that you would get JSA? It seems a bit harsh to want to leave a job that I hate to raise my children that I wouldnt get any support but I had assumed that I wouldnt so am trudging into the office each day with a heavy heart? I also have a mortgage, do you know if you get help on the interest payments on that? I am currently on a mortgage holiday so its not an immediate concern but just want to find out what my options are!! :)
    How old are your kids? If there are pre-school age, what about working evenings. If school age school hours. If you've got one at school and one pre-school though that's when it becomes tough as what suits one doesn't ness suit the other, unless you can find a job just a few evenings a week.
    Good Luck
