    What relevance does that have? Am I not allowed to give an opinion without quoting the ages of my family in my sig?


    Feel free, but there's no need to speak to me like that surely? I was only being friendly/chatty, shan't bother again................

    my husband goes to work and pays tax and our bills- that is what makes me different to lazy people who choose not to work. We are ok with living on a low wage so that we can bring our kids up the right way, its a a choice we made. What is wrong with wanting to look after your own kids? What is your problem dmg24?
    I'm glad we support single parents and people not able to work, that is who i believe the benefits should go to.
    My problem is with people who play the benefit system. 2 parent families who both choose not to work and are better off than us.

    I cannot believe your response, thought this forum was a friendly place

    For the vast majority of job seekers, unemployment was not a choice.

    (Did I really need to explain that?)

    EDIT: You're just upset because people can see through your hypocrisy.
    All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.

    no i just dont see why they should get a lap top. I bet there mums would just sit on the back sides then on face book all day.

    i have worked since i was 17 and my wife. I know people the same age as me who have never worked and never will but seem to have plenty of cash on friday night.

    I would not say every one who gets this deal is lazy but a good 95% would be. Because the ones that get the deal are the type who apply for any benfit out there an know all the loop holes.

    Clearly he cant be paying all your tax and bills on such a low wage.
    You MUST be getting help from the TAXPAYER to survive.
    Your no better than the ones who dont work. at least they dont blame anyone else for their problems

    What's got your goat? With the knowledge and advice that DMG gives on these forums, I would say she is alot more than 24 (but not that much more DMG!) - maybe have a read through some of her helpful posts before slamming someone 'cos you've got nothing else to do with your time.

    Lol. Sarah13, you are pathetically predictable.

    Face facts dear, you are a hypocrite of the highest order, and sending vicious PM's to members only serves to highlight that.
