but it also 'irks' people that others want time off to be 'mummy' at other peoples expense!
if you cant afforf to have kids then wait until you can.

it seems far too prevalent that people make choices and expect the taxpayer to back them up!

I agree. I just (really) dislike the phrase "full time mummy" and couldn't stop myself commenting.

To answer the OP's question. No, other than the CTC and CB you are probably already claiming, there isn't alot else. WTC might be applicable if you're income is low enough, as may HB (if you rent) and/or CTB.

Your wife has decided to give up work and look after your children. That is not a paid profession.

Thanks to all of those that helped by providing some advice, not so much to those who decided it was worth putting in their own 2p and attacking my question and making assumptions on the way.

cheers
