if someone resigns can dwp make them sell house?

I don't think it lone parents as such that are the problem, but those who pretend to be. Those whose boyfriends stay over all the time, who keep having children with the same bloke. Then claim they can't live together.
Also the lone parents who claim they have the right to stay at home to look after their children as they couldn't possibly miss those few important years. It must be nice the rest of us have to work.

Scarlett, I am a lone parent, I also work, get no benefits, have a good wage and my lone parenthood was caused by death, so I agree most people would not give up a loving relationship to bring up children on their own. However it is not worth having a go at people on a site, save your eforts for the newspapers who have tarred us all with this image in the first place. I have to agree with the others, this site is about money advise not scoring points, if you do not agree with someone's views then tell them why, keep to the point and then stop corresponsding with them, it only encourages more of the same.

yes agree with you

didnt say I didnt agree with you personally, I was looking at it as a whole where this site is concened cause I thought it was about different peoples views
As you quoted me i assumed you where referring to me, sorry then my mistake
I think people lose compassion with someone elses situation as soon as they start running down other people, we are all on this site for a reason and us single parents have a right to be here aswell as anybody else without being used as examples when someone wants to rant about someone having something they dont have :undecided
Everbody has a right to be here, there and everywhere, and i dont believe there is any more prejudice here than there is prejudice to working parents, we all have different lives and we should all be able to ask for help without comments like daves who obviously is only just out of nappies let alone actually had to fight for anything

I wish you could point out where I have run you or any single mother down as I know I have not done that and would be uspet to think that I have, I think you have a problem with people who aren't single parents and are bringing up kids.

I iwsh you could see past your bitterness and anger to realise I am actually on your side and do think that single mothers get treated unfairly on occasions and if you read my post I have never criticised nor judged mothers of any type, single or otherwise!! Don't go mouthing off at me when I have said nothing against you love!!! What I have criticised however is the governments rationale for handing out benefits, all I asked was to be able to spend time with my kids like you do with your 5 year old daughter!! I don't want hand outs, I don't want to not work and I don't want an argument. Perhaps you could tell me how easy it is for me? When I can barely balance the books and am struggling at times?? I never pretend that either of us have it easy, bringing up kids is something that most of us do to the best of our abilities given the situation at the time.

I would not give up a loving relationship to get a bit of extra money, don't be so stupid, what I would like to know is why I can't get help to bring up my kids, I am no better off financially having a partner as his total wages goes on the mortgage. My wages go on the bills.

My original question was purely asking if it was possible to get JSA while i changed jobs to enable me to see my kids more... I just can't afford to not have an income thats all, I dont understand the benefits system and asked for a bit of help. I truly wish I hadn't bothered!!!

Thanks for those who did read my post and offered advice, once I have simmered down a little bit I will take a mo to read through.

Oh and p.s. I will ignore all the other stupid comments as it not worth upsetting myself about this on mothers day of all days! I have reported one post tho as it was bang out of order.

WOW mothers day is fun!!! Mothers Unite and fight injustive wherever we see it, whether we are one, two or several in a really messy multi-step-parent, CSA nagged way. For me the best scenario would be if no parent had to work unless she/he wanted to but the country can't afford that, so best for all us parents to admit, most of the time we hate being away from our children, we don't want to pay other people to look after our children and we do not believe that anyone else can look after our children as well as we can.

LOL! I didnt expect anyone to kiss my feet daveboy, I just expected a civil and helpful reply, not a whole load of abuse about giving up working and freeloading (which I never said I wanted to do) and that I was running down single mothers (which I never did) - I also dont think it is nice to say that people should be shot!! (not even as a 'joke') - I can't even remember what your point was but I am sure it wasn't even relevant to my question to be honest????

Is their anyone out there, there must be surely, who has some self respect and has never claimed a penny from the Government?

I can't believe I read this. I put into the system for all the years since I left school. I had a back injury at work and got SSP from my employer, rather than claim IB. When I was better I went back to work but due to the time I had off with my back I got made redundant when the company had to downsize. I don't think I have any less self respect than anyone else when claiming what I was entitled to. I put into the system.....why shouldn't I take what I'm entitled to when I need to?? I'd rather claim what I'm entitled to than get up to my eyes in debt. The job centre is a depressing place and I certainly don't go there for the fun of it. I go because needs must. I hope you never find yourself in the same position.

Regardless of whether it is deleted, you need to accept that some people have different views.

It seems you posted and then expected others to kiss your feet. Most have but not me.

For want of a better phrase, if you open your mouth wide enough, you pay for it.
