the op has come on here for some advice & nearly everyone of u has jumped down her throat!! well i say, at least one of them is working & they aren't completely relying on benefits!! u tell her 2 get her hubby into full time employment. wake up people!! there's no jobs out there rite now!! i'm in a similiar boat so can sympathise wiv her. me & hubby have just got bk 2gether. i work 16 hours which fitted in around my kids whilst on my own. there's no spare hours going @ work, i've already been down that road. hubby was made redundant & has had no success finding new employment, & it aint for lack of trying either. wivout the help of tax creds, more people would be unemployed. don't judge people, either advise or leave alone

Tina, why have you started posting like this when you can spell really well? you are not a fan of capital letters, but your spelling is above average on your other posts............

It is an unfortunate fact that you will have to acknowledge that whilst the advice you give is correct, the manner and form in which it is presented will undermine you.
It may be worth considering changing the colour of your text, it is rather harsh on the eyes, and perhaps sticking to conventional spelling and grammar. This will make your posts sound significantly more intelligent and perhaps have your advice taken more seriously (I'm not saying you're not intelligent, I'm saying it will make your post come across to other readers better).

I also assume you're not actually studying "Accounts", but accountancy?

Also, to make this post on-topic, the OP's hubby needs go get a job and support his family. "man up" is a good turn of phrase. If you're too stupid to know what it means, too lazy to look it up, or too much of a troll, and just want to pretend you don't know what it means (tessie bear - someone else to whom punctuation is a stranger), it is the act of facing up to one's responsibilities.

In defence of the poster - it's more that possible to be studying 'Accounts'. If you don't believe me, then google it, there are numerous courses (for example): Computerised ACCOUNTS. Bookkeeping and ACCOUNTS. To name but a few courses (Even see AAT ACCOUNTS technician).

To be honest, poor attempts to attack a persons grammar rather pathetically says more about the person doing the attacking, than the person who is being attacked.

Mother already works, (albeit part-time) if they so choose that he does the home role, and she is the breadwinner, who are you to tell him to 'man up'?

Beware the Spelling Nazi's:rotfl:

I'm not sure which word I've mis-spelt? if you mean my username, a wireframe model is something used in older style PC gaming.

Well, she came on here looking for a sympathetic ear and advice. She hasn't found the sympathetic ear she was looking for, and my advice is for her hubby to get a job.
If she so chooses, she can ignore me.
But she was the one that asked.

Where is OP?

She came for advice, regarding how to speep up her WTC claim, actually. I don't recall her asking for sympathy either. Just how to speed up the claim.

Your advice is not relevant to her question. Nor is your poor attempts to spell-check posters comments.
Your advice, was not for hubby to simply get a job, but for him to 'man up'.

Sexism is far worse than someone making a spelling error.

It's not rocket science.

Learn to read. It's not rocket science.

The subject of this thread was designed to garner sympathy: "Tax credits have left us with nothing"?
Actually, having 4 kids and 2 adults in a family that works 20 hours a week has left you with nothing. The tax credit system has stretched your nothing out over a longer period, but it was always obvious the OP would have nothing in the end because the family doesn't earn enough to support itself without tax credits (as admitted by OP in the beginning).

Also, I didn't spell check anyone but you. I was suggesting, as others have, that nextyeartina might want to consider changing her method of posting. She can take or leave that advice.

You're coming across as bitter, you clearly can't read and your punctuation is terrible. I assume you have a DeepMistrust of books? Lucky it's not rocket science, isn't it?
You be fkked.

Now, try to keep your posts on-topic? I'll ignore any further responses from you in this thread, as you're clearly not reading my replies, and so any form of structured argument would be pointless.

So, like I pointed out, telling him to 'man up' as opposed to her supporting the family (as may work for them), is still sexist. I did LOL at your selective highlighting of your text.

Now now diddums. There is no need to get angry, because it's been pointed out to you, that attacking a person for spelling, rather than looking objectively at their post, says more about you than them.
To be honest, you don't have any meaningful advice. I think you're just here in a desperate attempt to bowl people over with your pseudo-snobbery and the small matter that you haven't yet as posted a typo (no doubt you are double-checking everything thoroughly to avoid the shame that you will inevitably suffer when you do). I sincerely doubt the OP or anyone come to that, is interested in your attack on their spelling.

Here's my advice for you, you can choose to ignore it, and carry on wittering and foaming about spelling errors. Go have a cup of tea, stop spitting and calm yourself down.:rotfl::rotfl:

Btw, you have yet to address your sexism? Or was that rant a desperate attempt to hide it?

Crikey calm down ladies

OK back on topic.....................................

This is a problem that a lot of families face, far too many low income families have become totally reliant on Tax Credit's as their main source of income, so when problems like this do arise they are left struggling financially until the problem has ironed itself out.

Unfortunately there is noe remidy to this apart from what has already been suggested in this thread, your husband one way or another needs to go and get a job, you could also think about increasing your hours or if this is not a possibility finding alternative full time employment.

The child care should not really be an issue, there are many private nurseries around and you can claim around 80% of the cost from the tax credit system, however whichever way you look at it you would still be reliant upon tax credit's, if not for income then for nursery fee's.

Catch 22, maybe in hindsight 4 children was not such a good idea without decent wages coming intot he household, I an nobody on this forum has the right to judge you over that though............................

The only thing you can do is sit it out, nag tax credit's to death until the situation is remedied, in the long term thoguh you really do need to try and figure out a way between you of being able to increase your income off your "own steam", being reliant upon the governemt as you have learnt in this situation is not a great thing..................

Best of luck, try and encourage hubby to seek some kind of emplyment this is the only sure way of guaranteeing long term stability.
