Funny. i'm not a Daily Mail reader :rotfl:I'm just moral and also believe family comes before money.

Its nice that you can save for a house deposit whilst the state and taxpayers "throw money down the drain" paying your girlfriends rent.

So now you are suggesting that I am immoral and put money before my family? This gets better and better.

You do not know me. You do not know my family. You are not in a position to cast judgement on my personal relationships with family members down from your high horse. By doing this you are effectively saying that all parents who do not live with their children are immoral.

I am part of the state. I am a taxpayer. I came on here asking for advice, that is all.

Mods, please lock this thread.

I didn't realise that it was going to get all daily mail in here after asking a simple question r.e. playgroups? I was simply enquiring as to whether there are any vouchers similar to the healthy eating scheme.

I don't think you are in position to pass a judgement over me. I will let you know that I do pay for my daughter to have everything she needs and so far I have saved up over £2,000 in a savings account over 2 years and I am adding to this monthly. I am a taxpayer and I feel I have every right to take what is entitled, if that is so.

Why on earth would I "throw money down the drain" on renting a property when in 2 years by living seperately I will have enough to put a deposit down?

Thanks. I would appreciate the mods could lock this before more Daily Mail readers come in to stand on their soapboxes.

To be fair OP, your situation is about as Daily Mail as it gets!

I did not say that anywhere in the thread. I work 37 hours a week.

Why would I waste money in the short-term renting a propety when in the long-term I will be able to afford a house sooner, and therefore have more money to put towards a car/ university education for my daughter?

Just because I do not sleep and eat my dinner every night in the same house as my child it does mean she is going to suffer. I am not an absent father.

Again, you are basing your judgements on assumptions. You are assuming that because we, as parents, do not live together the child is suffering in unimaginable ways. What about parents who do live together, where both parents go out to work, or where the father comes home every night at 6pm but then has his tea and slumps in front of the TV? You aren't as quick to judge those situations are you. Don't make the assumption that just because two parents do not live together the child is automatically suffering.

Your life is a typical Daily Mail type story:

We have a 2 year old who is about to start a play group for 3 mornings a week for £22.50. My girlfriend is in receipt of income support, child tax credit, child benefit and housing benefit (under 18, classed as lone parent as we do not live together I live with parents, not in employment).

Not making a judgment, I have a very unconventional lifestyle myself, just responding to your comments regarding people responding in a Daily Mail manner.

I did not say that your child was going to suffer. I simply responded to your post saying that you do not put finances before your family, when you quite clearly do.
