Nothing wrong with those hours, mornings free and every weekend off. The majority of men and women I know work far longer hours than 34 a week to support their families.

Your OH could always work part time as well as yourself if this was truly about spending more time with your child, however given all your questions are about gaining more money from the system I doubt family time is your true motivation.

so your saying i want more money rather than spend time with my family????? all you people dont understand, yea i can under stand with you if i was from another country and didnt work and claimed everythink,

so all you people are telling me you dont have any family or friend on 16 hours a week with a child, like i said your quick to judge other people but if it was your family or friend i bet you wouldnt be saying this to them

No I dont, all my friends and family work. Some of the mums work part time but the husbands all do full time hours. The single mums I know also work full time. I dont actually know anybody in a couple where the mum stays home and the father works just 16 hours.

For the record, if a family member or friend did this I would be disappointed that they let the state pick up the cost of raising their family.

Just wondering how working those hours only adds up to 34.5. I'm guessing you are deducted an hour for lunch per day? So by my reckoning that's 40 hours a week?

do what you feel is right i can totally understand what your saying. you wont get these years back with your son and at the end of the day if you dont claim the money some imagrant will. i work 30 hours a week and dont claim now but did when my husband left suddenly leaving me with 2 young children to support. if your son went off the rails when he is older they would then blame you the parents for not having time for them as a child. well done for being a good mum im sure if you didnt have to claim benifits you wouldnt but your child comes first.

I don't know anybody who does this. But, I've known plenty of families where both parents work full time. I've also got a friend who was a single parent who used to work 70 hours a week. Some people don't have children they can't afford and work hard to provide for their families. Some people have self respect.

I dont think he is a mum, his partner is home full time so doubt the child will be going off the rails.

As for the quote "im sure if you didnt have to claim benifits you wouldnt" - if you read the thread he doesnt have to claim benefits as he works 34 hours but wants to claim more benefits so that he can just work 16.

so what yor saying is i want to claim more benafits???? WRONG i want to spend more time with my son, i tell you what i could always be like the rest of the BENAFITS PEOPLE and not work and that would be even batter i wouldnt have to pay for nothing, ;);)

and as for your comment DaisyFlower i never had a father around when i was young so your saying a child doesnt need there father as long as there mother is there? what ever
