Just to go back to only seeing your son for 2 hours of a morning. Unfortunately that is the same the country over for all parents working fulltime. If you do a 9-5 job you may not see them for very long in the morning and then only an hour or two in the evenings before bedtime. But as you only work mon to fri you still have the weekends to make the most of family time. Your son may in fact appreciate the time he spends with you on the weekends more as he grows up becasue it will be precious time to appreciate family activities, rather than daddy being there all the time. Unfortunately I feel the government have got it wrong to allow a system that lets people work less and claim more intentionally. I was brought up in a working households, where both my parents worked fulltime, and I dont feel I missed out. I in fact appreciated those weekends where we did things as a family. Just my thoughts

i really need to get out of this country, it makes me sick to think some lazy workshy person is getting his wages topped up to £384 a week to do 16hours, while we work our socks off to get not much more.
breeding a nation of lazy ****ers that learn from their parents, i dread to think how my kids are gona get on with all these spongers when they are older0 -
His child will actually spend more time at school than his father will be working for.
There have been a few posters of this nature recently, I do hope they are trolls otherwise its a sad indication of todays society. We need to scrap tax credits and let people start supporting themselves and their families again. Stats show children who grow up on benefits mainly go on to claim themselves and its very sad that someone would aspire to that.0 -

I fully support this - my stepkids live like this - stepson wanted to move in with us at 16 but was not allowed as she would lose too much money. Kids have no ambition...money is seen as something that is given to you not earnt, job is seen as something you potter at part time to enable you to get more benefits than not working at all. We both work full time and are regarded as weirdos.0 -
